This folksy, intimate vibe gets blown out of the water the minute you put a letterhead, or business card, or any other corporate insignia anywhere near that letter.

If he is a corporation, then you will not need to do so.

As for your neighbor, stick a big ol' American flag in the front yard. 

In my opinion properties well suited for vacation rentals have:A great location for touristsNear outdoor / recreation destinations (beach's, ski resorts, etc.)Near nature (on a river, lake, ocean, etc.)Or perhaps a great location for business / corporate housing (Downtown, near major companies, etc.)Decent demand year-round (If it sits vacant 40 weeks out of the year you would be better off with a long-term tenant).Great amenities (WiFi, TV, Furnishings, Linens, Coffee, small appliances, etc.)Accept credit card paymentsPool / Hot Tub is a nice bonusOutdoor space at the property (Deck, balcony, patio, BBQ area, etc.)Pet friendly (not required, but will get you more interest)If your property seems to meet many of the above characteristics it is probably well-suited for a vacation rental.Some major differences you will need to figure out (compared to long-term)Who will do routine housekeepingHow will you get the guests moved in and out (lock box, in person, etc.)What laws govern your locationsWhat tax implications (bed tax, reporting, etc.) will you have to figure outHow much extra will you need to charge to make all the above worth it.

I am Korean-American, and while I lived and worked there for 5 years (3 years Active Duty Military and 2 as a Civilian), I grew to love the country met my wife there and now thinking of living there permanently and retiring there as I build my REI business here in CA as well. 

Is it possible/legal for me to transfer the ownership or sell my home to my corporation, or to another one I file, then pay myself rent, as well as deduct repairs and other property expenses that you cannot deduct from your personal residence through that corp?
