The 15 Essential Items Every Short Term Rental MUST HAVEWhether you're listing your space on Airbnb, VRBO, Homeaway, or with a professional property manager, you will need a whole bunch of items that guests expect to see and make your life as a host easier and more profitable.

I have a unique situation and have a few questions and could really use a professional's advice.

However, I'm looking for recommendations for a tax professional/CPA in the Seattle, WA area preferably the Kent, WA area.

I would advise consulting a lawyer or tax professional specializing in real estate LLCs for this.

My biggest lesson learned is that I need to make sure I do more research before buying any properties to ensure they can cash flow and are in the best possible area.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

What network will the locks connect to? 

They have been responsive and professional, but the company is compensated by DST sponsors and I am harboring a healthy level of skepticism right now.Does anyone have experience with "Realized"?

That being said, I think it's good that you see the limitations with the professional you're currently working with.

As a busy professional myself that travel 30%, I have found ways to automate it all and in an effort to attract professionals like myself to rent from me, I only buy in unique areas.

With a viable deal, lenders can send it to their network of buyers, providing financing options attached to the offer.
