Hi BP Community - does anyone have attorney recommendations that can assist (or prior personal experience) in Wyoming with self-directed IRA LLC formation?

I have made it from my long term process to short/mid terms and I have found myself in a predicament as I am investing from out of state (Atlanta GA) and have purchased a str that I will be staying in 1 week a month (Liberty MO north of Kansas City MO).Predicament All property management companies I have done my research on have horrible reviews, as most of them do, and with STR it’s not exactly passive but more hands on in my experience with investing in ATL.Does anybody out there have a recommendation for PM companies I can work with that are not from the horror story days that I have heard all the way back from when Josh Dorkin was hosting?

Define, "investor-friendly" agent please.In our experience we've found that +95% of agents only have experience dealing with owner-occupied transactions - which are mostly EMOTIONAL decision based.You can ID these types of agents easily by asking them:1) If they are RE investors themselves.

Another idea we’ve been dabbling with given western Michigan’s coast is short term rentals in one of the beach towns along the lake.Would love to hear people’s thoughts, share their experiences, or give any advice regarding the GR market and surround area. 

Otherwise, we have had some excellent experience with active duty military, traditional reservist/guardsman, and veterans.1.

I am meeting with about 2 people a week from bigger pockets over coffee and enjoying the experience.

Curious what has been the experience here.
