I plan to use AirBnB, VRBO and all that.

This is because Mortgage backed securities are in direct competition with investors looking for "safer" investments backed by the full faith of the United States Government. 

This basically releases the one moving out and the security deposit stays with the property. 

There are several factors that lead to this, the primary driver is picking tenants who pay their bills.

I will use hard money lender at first as they need rehab, then refinancing with the bank.

I'm a first time investor, and all these things are adding up to be a huge headache and source of anxiety for me.

Who do you use and why do you like them?

The property is under their name but I’m thinking of moving it to an LLC (they would still be primary owners of LLC)z  Any strategies anyone would recommend to do this without creating a taxable event?

I bought a primary residence last October that I planned on renting out come this October (next month) and would love some advice from more experienced folks on my next steps, because I came up with a few options. 

I will be doing a pretty large renovation in one of the units, and mostly cosmetic reno in another unit, so i'm wondering what the best way to go about dealing with any potential lead issues in this case.
