We have the vendors all lined up ready to come in and fix stuff next week and it's nothing that can't be done within 1-2 weeks, even if our own DIY things. 

The most successful landlord I know doesn't get caught up in petty fights with tenants and always try to be reasonable.

I personally am impressed by both Jack and Seth and I know the methods they teach work because several members of my group have had success with raw land investing using these methods as well as methods from the other programs available.

I agree with @Michael Baum.I recently had a guest who lit fireworks and put the hot shells in the outdoor trash can which started a fire and burnt up the garage door, stucco, and facia before it was put out. 

What do you suggest is the best entity classification to choose from for a new, up-in-coming business owner to get the best balance between liability protection and tax advantages? 

I'll eliminate it a little further without giving up the whole idea.I understand it's unique, and it's difficult to find others who see enough potential to try something different.

Don't beat yourself up, but fix the problem.

I have already lined up a professional property manager (the STR is out-of-state) and a design team (we are upgrading every room in the house and adding a ton of amenities). 

Keep up the good work !!!
