No state tax, beaches, weather, theme parks...the list is endless.I would be happy to talk thru your strategies and hesitations on the market here.

@Landon JonesYou are in a unique position either way you choose to pursue this.  

They only allow a borrower to have a maximum of 3 investor loans so we'll need to refi one of our 3 loans with them in order to continue making purchases with their unique loan products.

I worked for 3 years in Boston as a rental agent and have seen way too many unique problems with older homes.

Find a theme for your decor and stick with it.   

So maybe if you setup a separate company to manage the property, and that company were to have an extremely unique name that when googled led right to your website, that could be a totally legal approach.Why don't you use the listing sites for what they are meant for, then try to market direct to those customers that have already stayed with you without incident for their repeat business?

You have a unique plan which I wrote down and plan to do.

I understand the difference between passive investor, active investor, and real estate professional in the eyes of the IRS, but does investing using an LLC give unique tax advantages too?
