I do remember my first post and made sure to articulate a complete sentence so i didn't start off on the wrong foot.

They would have the be insured/licensed because the garage is a foot or so from my neighbor's coach house and I don't want any liability issues if something falls the wrong way.Any suggestions?

@Brian OShea  Ask the daughter if her only source of income is $700 a month (is the baby's dad paying child support?)

It's nice to hear that you started off on the right foot. 

A Series LLC can own property in any state, but some states haven't enacted the legislation to form them, so you may need to have to deal with forming it in another state.This article breaks down the differences in more detail: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/the-traditional-llc-vs-the-series-llc-which-is-better-for-real-estate-investorsThe Series LLC is ideal for investors who own multiple properties, since it allows you to create liability protection for each property by placing them in individual "child" series easily.

I've never encountered a "free stay" - as let's face it, someone is footing the bill for utilities, mortgage, insurance. 

I am looking for a reasonable cleaning person for my rental, 3BR, about 1400 square foot first floor apartment.

That's why a lot of times I think JVs are a great way to get your foot in the door, or start with you and a few partners who are all in it together to build up that track record, before you move on to syndicating out equity and being the lone operator.In terms of brand, honesty, transparency, no ******** tends to be the best approach in my opinion.

We are thinking of doing a turnkey property out-of-state as a way to get our foot in the door, and because it's difficult to afford putting 20% down in Utah right now.
