Evan, a good property management company would, at minimum, provide profitability reports of your properties quarterly.

Like @Aaron B. mentioned we have a lot of worked planned to clean up our real estate listings this quarter so you should start see improvements in the coming weeks.

The best investment you can make is hiring a real estate specialized CPA to file your taxes and provide quarterly or bi-annual strategy sessions. 

The spread between treasuries and the CVS might also widen or stay the same.In any case, I'd take the CVS due to leverage, potential appreciation as well as different taxation rates.

Even if you see other Vacation rentals in the area make sure to add it on your next purchase because these HOAs have monthly or quarterly meetings and things can change. 

I guess you could get something like a quit claim deed, but that would be bad on the sellers part because he won't have much for insurance that payment would actually happen - and I don't think you could do that at a title company because they have ethics regulations about that (everyone would just quit claim deed their house over for $10, and you would by a paper clip for $200,000 and then there would be no basis for taxation) Besides the money won't really be made in the 6 months to a year by; the time you recoup your buying expenses, any repairs or upgrades you need to do the property or just rebuilding reserves. 

Purchase price: $435,000 Cash invested: $43,500 4-plex outside of the French Quarter New Orleans purchased May 2020$3250/ month long term rent at purchase -> 6 months later -> $5200/ month rentMay 2021 conversion to STR $20k worth of furniture and $20k worth of CapEx -> $11k/month NOI What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I've also seen plenty of HOAs say stuff like, well the people that write such a letter meet quarterly, so we can bring it up at the meeting in June and see if they will write the letter. 

The entity type doesn't always result in separate taxation. e.g. an LLC can be a pass through entity directly to your own tax returns, or not depending on the structure. 

Beyond that you would be passively invested in a diversified portfolio of multi family assets with a target return of 11-15% (conservative estimate), the fund produces strong quarterly cashflows and we average 2.5x equity multiple over a average ~7 year hold.I've seen quite a few investors follow this path recently and they have had a lot of success with the tax savings.
