I must implore that this is not easy nor will it land you vast riches so you dont have to do much any time soon.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton would ardently disagree that "it is very literally the job of gov to dictate what a person can and can not do", because they would view the vast majority of laws and regulations to be unjust and unconstitutional, which they are. 

There are simply not enough good deals to go around for the vast number of investors trying to buy deals.

I think it's funny that the vast majority of people responding to this thread on Maui STRs aren't from Maui.

The biggerpockets guys always talk about the 1 or 2 percent rule and that is almost impossible for the vast majority of real estate in Montreal. 

The vast majority have absolutely no way to buy, maintain, or understand real estate.I would go as far as saying that to suggest anything other than stocks to most Americans is financial malpractice. 

If you can, I would actually take any energy you use worrying (which actually can take huge energy stores) and put it into something productive, like learning about property repairs and maintenance (even just reading or watching shows) and landlording property management especially the people side (check out the library for free books and BP for example).

Also, you can try to find the book 'Nolo's Guide to Starting a Small Business' in your county library (or buy it in Amazon.com) where they have discussed about the merits and demerits of LLC, S-Corp and C-Corp.With some knowledge I possess, here are my suggestions.

We also have mailing addresses that don't coincide with municipal boundaries, so you need to look deep at listings to see the legal address of a property to understand what the rules are.The vast majority of properties that are renting as STR are located in planned communities with POA/HOA's that have an additional layer of control and operational impact as many require that you register your guests. 

Personally, if the information provided does not provide the vast majority of the answers upfront, I won't bother asking and will move on to another deal as the GP is basically not transparent enough if I have to ask a ton of questions.
