If then 7 months later (with no advertising etc bringing them together) FunkyRabbit LLC is a separate legal entity.

One good reason to name your property if you mainly advertise on Vrbo and Airbnb is so they can find you else where and book off these platforms saving and your customers a bunch of fees.How about The Cabin @ your location here.

But in general, your dings to cash flow are:repairs and maintenance material and laborManagement FeesInsuranceReal Estate TaxesInterest ExpenseLoan AmortizationAnd getting the price down will help, but if you are primarily focused on CoC, your goal should be less money down. 

To give myself ultimate comfort I want to advertise and “verbally” confirm a tenant or two.

Here's what you'll do...Download your PropStream list consisting of the owners' addresses.Create a set of 10 display ads about three things (your reputation as an investor in their area; how you can help them; general branding of your business) and advertise strictly to owners while they are at home.

They give me the black one to warn others ;-PMeetup.com - Create an account and register your group then advertise the heck out of it.

To keep it brief, a 506c will allow the syndicator to advertise their opportunity publicly, but will restrict participants to accredited investors only.

Many spending $10,000 monthly on marketing and advertising.

You could always advertise the more basic things (painting/mowing lawns) and after doing good work you could tell the customer you also do X-Y-Z. 

Those are some good material to read.
