Our lender has informed us that we need 12 months of rental history to use the actual rent for financing purposes, or we must rely on the appraiser's fair market short term rental value.

If you live in CA, and your LLC is in OR, you still need to register it in CA and pay the 800 dollar per year LLC tax.

Our focus is on mid market 50-100 unit's but happy to help.

We own a real estate, mortgage, and property management company solely focused on Short Term Rental Investments How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

My wife and I have done all the terms (short, mid, long term rentals) and have done some live in flips.

We specialize in short-term rental investments through our integrated real estate, mortgage, and property management services, delivering expertise at every stage of the process.

Quote from @Keyshawn Johnson: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently living in Italy but will be moving to Florida soon, specifically to the Destin area.

In  terms of a meet up, I am very keen to meet fellow RE investors so give me a couple of weeks to find a place to live and I am happy to organise one. 

Since you're relocating to a new market, the best advice (like someone mentioned) is to figure out where YOU will be happy.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).
