Since you've stayed there and the lot is open, I see the lure, but any time I see something like this - "This is a pure emotional type of investment and I want to honor it."

This is where we will go back to your primary goal (Owning a cool property that you use sometimes vs. a pure investment property). 

@Katie Miller, I purely entertain referrals from other people who have had great experiences with niche CPAs. 

Once you have grown to the point where you are beyond house hacking and are purchasing for pure investment, not a place to live, then you can really start using the LLC or other strategies.   

My view it’s that it’s always better building a brand rather then focussing purely on the aggregators (whether Airbnb or otherwise) but it would depend on your objectives as an investor/operator of your own spaces. 

Stop with the guru sites, the videos, all that nonsense is pure crap designed to drive the lazy into highly risky investments or investment schemes that will surely see you make a little or lose a lot. 

And there’s no catalytic economic drivers for those areas.Don’t do it unless you are doing it just for fun and pure speculation.  

If what you're doing is so wonderfully pure and I'm just too stupid to understand your mastery of the industry why do you have to constantly lie, mischaracterize and misrepresent to raise money?

Or am I just slapping you with pure facts, common sense, and logic?

And people start seeing you everywhere providing pure value.Remember this is something you SHOULD do regardless.
