That really set my business back.My suggestion is to use an agency short term, but try to always have a VA you're managing on your own.

There are people who have an entire business helping you set up and design a STR relatively quickly (3-7 days) depending on size of home and complexity but you are going to be paying a bit of a premium but you do save on the headache.

All disclosures are to the seller, escrow, IRS, that kind of thing.In one lawsuit, the judge determined that the lender had constructive notice because I had recorded the warranty deed and was making payments from my business checking account.

Friendship and business don’t always mix well, so it’s critical to use a solid lease and treat this as a business arrangement.
