Get with a good agent who understands short term rentals because the more of these you do then you can scale the insurance under a Business Owner Provider Policy (BOP) and then you don't end up with a dozen individual policies out there for each property that cost you a fortune.

To me RE is a hands on business where stock investing is just that investing in someone else's businesses.

Which will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.

I have been busy with out of state investors but also housing developers and supply companies coming into the area.

Do not be scared to politely but firmly renegotiate with these established guests to terms that fit your business plan: raise price to where you cover expenses and require that they either rent from Dec 1 or from Jan 2.

I am a licensed MLO in Louisiana and would like to learn everything about the entire business. 

I own a business that builds modern, prefab tiny homes (or cabins depending on how you look at it), and I am looking for a market where I could set up a few of these to use as model homes, available as a STR.

Hello everyone, I'm interested in starting my STR business.

It is always recommended to do it using LLC but not all types you will qualify if you don't have business with the lender or you don't have experience.Feel free to reach out and we can setup a call, I am working with multiple clients that are doing similar things in DFW.
