There is a Bigger Pockets investor that started with some successful Airbnbs he personally manages of his own in Nashville TN & Columbus Ohio.

My question is - does the 7 feet per person equilibrium rule apply to total NRSF in the 3 mile or can that be broken down by class (cc vs non cc, facility age, etc) and the 7 rule applied as a cap to each individual class?

It was inmy LLC name but I personally guaranteed it foolishly using my house as collateral.

If you want to use the VA loan, I would just go ahead and do it in your personal name and just make sure you have a good insurance policy (the first line of defense). 

Is all good for those who are customers? 

If I have to boot someone I'll have it re-rented for more money in a week and the person getting booted will probably be living under the bridge as they won't find anything as cheap as me. 

I have a client who is in need of a personal loan (under 15K).

Depending on income and credit there are always credit card, personal line of credit and personal loan options available out there

I also have a contracting/remodeling background (mostly custom kitchens & baths) in CT, and am finally delving into the REI space too. 

Don't ever put your other personal asset as collateral for any Kinda of loan.
