This could be structured as either a lump sum upfront or monthly payments over time.

I am relatively new to real estate investing and my goal is to start with a househack this year and scale my portfolio over time. 

If the revenue is $100, payments are $25 which isn't a lot.Option 1A is not a good decision. 

How will the fractional ownership be managed?

I've been investing in the stock market for 30+ years, but am at the point where I'm ready to diversify more into real estate.I've been lurking on the forums here for quite some time and I am amazed at the value of the posts and level of knowledge that exists here.

Question: If you were to purchase a STR to close in November and the seller negotiated that the buyer must honor existing rentals with the current rental company/property management until January of 2025…. 1- does this negate the short-term rental loophole for the 2024 if you aren’t managing it yourself for these months in 2024?

@Adolphus Fletcher For multifamily investing, most real estate investors typically use an LLC for several reasons:Liability Protection: LLCs protect your personal assets from lawsuits or debts associated with the property.Pass-Through Taxation: Income and losses from an LLC pass through to your personal tax return, avoiding double taxation seen in C-Corps.Flexibility: LLCs allow for flexible management structures and are easier to maintain than corporations.Anonymity: In some states, LLCs can offer a degree of anonymity if you use a registered agent and form the LLC in a state that doesn’t require public disclosure of members, such as Delaware or Wyoming.S-Corps are should be avoided for real estate investing because of various reasons.

I'd have a few property managers look over these with you.

Some homeowners hire a property manager to manage the other 1-3 units for the owner.

I am under a time crunch and would like to purchase the property asap (due to tax reasons).
