And I only say move-in ready because it reduces the risk of issues with contractors, repair costs, etc.

The state of NY is now requiring LLC's to register their owners (to offset for the enormous issues we have here with deadbeat landlords).

How does one know these are mere online versions vs issued by an actual authority?

Forget the issues are repairs and something you believe they should have completed by now.

That is not an issue on Okaloosa Island, which means that STRs on the north (the Sound side, in the portions where they are allowed) can access the beach with no issue, yet the prices for those properties are much lower.

But that's exactly what many people on this board say about Coastal California, which is what I take issue with.  

I have run into issues with getting financing because of the LLC or trust. 

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the calculator and Pro sign up page.

I’ve looked up bloc or cloc and I understand them but the cross state stuff seems to be an issue and I’m curious if any of you experts have any advice.

If these issues are determined not to be issues, your PM needs to set expectations with the tenant.
