@Jay Hines I'm not sure that's how people would refer to wholesaling in terms of an investment strategy. 

Honesty and transparency is simply a profitable, long term strategy to build sustainable source of income and not end up with huge fines or, worst of all, in jail. 

With the hefty down I'd aim for a lower I/O rate of 5-6%..Conventional terms would be in the high 8%'s.

If your insurance coverage isn't enough, they could seize the LLC assets, but not your personal assets.Additional thoughts:1.

But then, as short-term rentals became ever more popular, Americans tourists started thinking wait a second "We're paying so much for staying for a week at that short-term rental.

I've only had short term guests through VRBO and did not have require background checks.

It would fix your cash flow problem, but that comes with the furnishing expenses and a little more work than long term rent. 

Makes sense since those that are on the market can be found more easily, although even with them, there’s still a lot of improvement to be made in terms of how we can find/filter them.

Usually, mid-term leases are a reasonable option for people in this profession but there are so many other professions/needs that most people probably don't target that worker specifically.  

The ultimate goal is to start scaling and eventually would expand into another state such as South Carolina for short term rentals.
