Not sure what else should i include in the monthly due.

My short-term rental is out of state but I manage it remotely (mostly guest communications and troubleshooting issues) and if I include in that the time I spent getting it ready to rent, I would say I materially participated and even more than anyone else (i.e. cleaner).

I self manage from 15 miles away.

Does the guideline for a monthly rent between 0.8% and 1.1% of the property's value include power, water, gas etc.?

They were listed as an operating STR with furnishings included and seemed to be based on a multiplier of past revenue.

Depending on the experience we may opt not to go the LLC route and try to establish other strategies for asset protection that is consistent with management and cost minimization.Would appreciate hearing about the experiences of other real estate investors, including about the pitfalls to avoid with this kind of structure? 

Also, my work did not include Florida in my W2.

I'm not sure what market you're in but in the markets we have worked and purchased in it's the tax assessor site that includes the sold data.
