I know somebody living in USVI right now, so potentially have boots and eyes on the ground, so to speak.I will check into the Dave Foster book and do some you tube searches.Thanks for the great insight!

I wouldn't necessarily be uncomfortable with that (I would actually be so proud haha) since coops are community-based complexes so their primarily reason for checking the background and financials is to make sure all their neighbors are in a good standing. 

Have them check the sink while they are there as well. 

I will check with my city officials on this issue as they've likely had experience with VRBO and ABB

Will shoot you a text shortly and will check out your YT channel -- great resource! 

If you had a written lease in place double check what it says about your security deposit- even if you didn't technically have one.

moving it to an LLC will not do much for you in the way of asset protection OR taxes (double check that with a cpa, everyone's tax picture is different). most people lean towards the LLC thing for legal protection, but a single-member LLC is a thin veil that's easily pierced. you'd be paying LLC fees & paying another LLC tax return prep fee, for what i'd say is nothing. if you do want to transfer the deed to an LLC anyway, you'd do a 'quit claim deed' with a title company or real estate attorney. if the mortgage lender ever says something you'll just give them proof that it's a single-member LLC and the one member is you (the original borrower). 

you can usually check the county assessor’s website to find that info.

I hate to continue to pile on the fees for credit checks to do them on four sets of parents after charging the tenants for this.
