That sounds like a fantastic plan!

And if I should get them out, what’s the exit plan?

I plan to sell 2 rental properties in 2024. 

I use Clickup now, and am planning on fleshing out something that can be shared. 

Your property management company will at least have the expenses of creating the company (I would strongly recommend creating an entity), bookkeeping, tax preparation and the 401k plan setup and management fees.

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

What’s your plan B if they ban or regulate STRs like they’ve done in other European capitals.

This sounds like a great opportunity to do some tax planning with a CPA to determine what type of entity structuring meets your goals. 

I just purchased my first investment property in Fletcher, NC (about 20 min outside Asheville) which I plan to use as a short term rental.

We plan on splitting our investments 50/50 and we both have very similar long term goals.
