This would become a passive income source since you aren't listing the property, hosting open houses, etc.Another option would be to wholesale the deal.

As luxury vacation short-term rental hosts, has anyone faced a similar situation or have suggestions on how to proceed?  

I firmly believe that the media/internet/powers that be are just spinning the crap out of this whole weather thing.

Private firm?

I host remotely too, and when I bought the house, I went through it and made a list of everything that needed attention or was close to wearing out. 

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business. 

I am looking for multi cycled firms to invest thru w/excellent returns, agnostic of investment.

I'm also a firm believer in "everything is not for everybody".

Or may just be nosey, or want to be hosts but have no money.  

I'm looking for recommendations on:- Experienced attorneys or firms that specialize in forming LLCs and trusts in Wyoming and Illinois.- Insights on the best practices for structuring these entities for optimal asset protection and tax efficiency.- Any potential pitfalls to watch out for during this process.If anyone has navigated a similar setup or has referrals to professionals who can help, I would be extremely grateful for your input!
