I see the suggestions of REITs and publically traded offerings.  

Is there anyone in Baltimore County, MD that has experience with getting a public service meter?

Great access to public transit via Penn station.

You need more than just a Will, you need a health care directive, a person that would have Power of Attorney if your incapacitated. 

(You wouldn't believe the dimly-lit-sheets-askew photos some people throw up there and hope to get booked.)PricingPositive reviews are one of only a few factors Airbnb has publicly said affect where your listing lands in the Airbnb search results.

If you do improvements on a property and a buyer takes you to court because of workmanship, the broker could end up being sued also.In the Bay Area, both mlslistings.com and realtor.com display essentially all listings to the public.

Can anyone recommend a good source or publication to learn about the local Maui market?

Also feel free to ask questions, publicly or via PM, of pros you see that seems to have a lot of experience in niches that interest you - most people here are more than happy to help out new investors. 

Did you read that social connections are really valuable to your overall health and happiness?

Yes, one can setup an LLC online for under $100 but there a few check boxes that are critical to be selected correctly and I always recommend paying the professionals to handle sensitive items like this.I would also suggest you have the attorney listed as the registered agent of your entity so your name doesn't show up on any public records.
