If they’re at Home Depot as 6am then most likely it’s the professionals who are out there hustling, not the ones who sleep in after a long night.

Setting up things the way you are means that you will need to learn 4 different state laws on short term rentals and property in general, 4 metro areas on STR rules and regulations, 4 different seasonal demand for STR rentals Not saying it can not be done but it will be harder than 4 rentals in one market.  

As you can tell from the responses you need a professional to make this as smooth and uncomplicated as possible.

Since I’m also a hard working professional looking for that passive income cash flow from rentals just not sure where to start.

Also it never hurts to do a combination of handwritten and professional letters.

My advice is to just get a professional over there to fix it and move on.

As with any RE professional that you include on your team...make sure that they are investors themselves!

An LLC is a pass through entity so unless you are advised by a professional differently, double taxation will not affect you. 

Second, consider joining a local real estate investment club in your area to network with other real estate investors and professionals locally.

My advice would be to make strong, trusted connections with other RE professionals who are either in construction themselves, or have a solid background in it.
