Surrounding oneself with the best kind of people is probably the best "high level" decisions I ever made. 

that data point alone tells me nothing, because i don't know what the "Great" PM that distinguishes themselves from others are profiting. maybe the top 5% is making 20% profit or everyone is making 2% or less, i can't tell that from your comment.  

When I say patchy flooring I mean it's a cosmetic issue onlookers can easily distinguish that a particular area was repaired as it's not in sync with the remaining flooring inside the apartment.Technically flooring is not the same for example before I bought the property during closing and after the water incident that happened two months after closing.So I was wondering if guaranteed rebuilding would come into picture to bring everything back in shape,hope I made it clear.

Truly, safety and security of oneself and belongings are paramount, and I won't begrudge a neighborhood from installing a gated fence, nor measures to encourage (not force) character/architecture retainment, but again, I have yet to see any data that support increases in crime or poor performance due to the presence of STRs - more importantly, then, is ensuring the city/municpality is afforded the oppportunity to welcome in visitors; Businesses thrive, jobs are created, demand for the area and its amenities increases, and values rise, which is something ALL investors want. 

The loan is expected to be around 750K USD.For that, we plan to form an LLC, which consists of:  us - the out of state investors - and the local developer.Apparently, the bank requires that the developer will own at least 80% of the LLC, in order to get the loan.Obviously, this does reflect the reality, and we wanted to consult this distinguished forum, on the following questions:1.

@Trevor DominiqueYou need to distinguish that which most accurately reflects true operating results, and that which is most beneficial tax wise.

Is there a clear way to find lists that are distinguished by multi family ?

This will typically hold true throughout the publication unless specifically addressed and distinguished by the author.

So while true pocket listings (which never hit the MLS) seems likely to reduce the sale price, pre-marketing can actually increase the price.Unfortunately the new rules don't distinguish between pocket listings and pre-marketing. 

I've only evaluated one self storage deal, in a 3rd-tier market with only one other true competitor.
