An LLC only works when it is a true, seperate, self sustaining entity.  

I really think if you put it in that perspective you begin to see that higher quality properties are more sustainable. 

Then the company got even stricter with our buyer's criteria, and pushed our closing dates really far back (over 2 months until we could close on a potential property) and I knew that this wasn't sustainable.

I would be very concerned that the current numbers will not sustain once a vaccine is available and folks start to travel overseas and to traditional destinations.

@Senad Pali It's all relative...my personal opinion is that this technique is not sustainable...and you're killing your cash flow and equity by pulling it to roll into another property.

The prices and cashflow analysis in my market don't make much sense to me, but I'm a bit intimidated on having my first property out of arms reach.Technically my first property was out of country (Nicaragua), but my sustained REI career started with my first properties (and most of them now) being out of state.

Some are paid memberships and also sell products/services at some of their meetings.Try them all and see which resonates with you.

Though I don’t focus on STRs in general, this seems like the margins are too thing to make a sustainable and scalable business out of.

Running comps isn't rocket science - look within 0.5 miles, within 3 months, preferably same neighborhood, adjust for sq. footage and conditions as needed.If you are looking to wholesale your first deal you don't need that much capital to sustain a campaign (I'd start with minimum 200 targets due to response rates).

I'm glad it resonated and helped you in some way.
