I recently launched an STR management company in Kissimmee FL and decided to set up an account with Hostaway.

I am an investor, licensed agent and own a property management company.

Can this business also be shielded by the parent/holding company?

I am having a hard time finding insurance companies that insure properties owned under an LLC. 

There's a reason Fortune 500 companies never stop marketing to consumers!

I've learned that I'd rather grow at a slower rate and not be at the mercy of lenders and insurance companies that will gouge you every chance they get. 

I would just hire a quality general contractor, for example we have weekly updates via company cam photo and video documentation.

Take down the first property and then do 4 more, set big goals.

I currently have a European based property investment company with capital to invest in the us?

Great company and local operation that does things right.Toledo is notorious for bad operators especially when it comes to contractors so the BRRR approach when investing out of state can end up in disaster.Just had a 1hr call with an investor that was going to purchase a property for cash and site unseen.A "reputable" realtor in town influenced him to buy without doing an inspection.Just by looking at the photo's, we could see a lot of problems with the property.Stay diligent and focus more on the people rather then the deals themselves.Much success
