San Francisco just passed a regulation mandating that Airbnb collect all TOT fees from homeowner's and submitting to the city. 

If you make an honest attempt of learning real estate first, you'll do much better than trying to take guru short cuts that go afoul of laws and regulations then end up dealing on the dark side.Good luck :)  

You just have to have strict criteria, be a disciplined investor and stick to it, don't follow the herd just because you want a deal

The OP needs to get with a knowledgable accountant/CPA.I think you will find that CPAs give varying advice on this with some advocating a very strict interpretation of Single Member LLCs always following through to the Schedule C while others interpret it as rentals always following through to the Schedule E.  

Are you a strictly buy and hold investor?

Learn the regulations.

I have been very strict about reinvesting every penny my rentals make.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the agency who regulates FHA loans.The HUD investigator discovered the property was transferred to a new buyer, but the buyer’s funds were not used to pay off the FHA loan.

do you think if you were strictly buy and hold investor, you'd have had this problem?
