An STR that is poorly managed may leave the PM without his or her portion of the income, but it may set up the owner to lose the property if that cash flow was needed to pay the mortgage.

This happened because this part of the site let me login with my Google account, whereas the store made me set up a manual account.Now the store doesn't recognize that I'm a Pro member and won't let me download the lease agreement package that I need for California without paying another $99.

New investors get way too stuck on LLC setups and the like when they really don't have anything worth taking, and those with loans have partners that provide some buffer anyway - the bank, who's going to end up with the property if anyone sues you successfully enough to get a judgement, which means it will be the rare attorney who even takes the case. 

The investors that have had these payments suspended have set-up a new Facebook page.

You can buy part of a note or perhaps a small note through corporate entities, crowd funding, 506 entities under SEC, but guess what, the SEC only authorizes the formation and operation of pooling investors, these set ups absolutely do not give license to sell or trade stocks, bonds, mutual funds or mortgages as a broker dealer, those requirements are in addition to the pooling of funds authorizations.

The note investor can set up a deal where the borrower deeds part of the property to him for cancellation of a certain amount of principal.  

Furthermore, I noticed that any initial email I sent out to a sponsor was responded with them encouraging me to set up a time to discuss the business with them.

Spending more than 100 hours and more than anyone else, or substantially all the time in the business.So if you own an STR and meet the test, you can set up a tax deduction machine.Some issues -- You have to count your time, and the time other people work in the biz (cleaning, maintenance, etc..)- If use the property more than 15 days or 10% of the time it becomes a residenceI suspect this is part of why the STR trend has picked up so greatly amongst professionals working in tech.

It seems great, but I'm having some trouble getting started.So far, my first tenant is having trouble getting payment set up. 

If you’re a business owner with no employees or only part-time employees working less than 1,000 hours per year, you could set up a solo 401(k) and contribute up to $69,000, which includes both employee and employer contributions.
