For the past 5 years, I moved into short term rentals and Rob's expertise has helped me to become a better STR host. 

I manage my own rentals and I also do all my own handyman/maintenance repairs.

I'm about to purchase a property for a short term rental and trying to figure out whether to hold the property in a newly formed LLC, trust or in my personal name.

Rental (mostly DSCR) is a different story as you need to have the rent support/cover the PITI + HOA costs.

Just go to the Vegas auctions you will see it every day.. there is always some investor that will pay more than you will .. most of those folks are just looking for rentals.. some are not clued into values as you suspect but many just have other criteria that is not your criteria.. and forgeta bout it when someone wants to live in the house no one will beat them ..

I'm currently the owner of a couple long term and a couple short term rentals. 

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

The master bath in one of our rentals only has a jacuzzi tub, no shower head at all (weird, I know!).

I believe it may be a 2 unit rental, with a 3BR 1 BA lower and a 2BR 1 BA upper unit.
