You don't have to physically be at the property (all three of my rentals are either 200 or 2000 miles from my home) but guests require attention.  

I know many people who own businesses and restaurants who end up using an additional layer of LLC: LLC1 is for the operations of the company, LLC2 is for the actual physical assets and LLC3 is for the [IP] and brand.

Same with folks who only use AirBNB and not VRBO.I have found that most traveling professionals can pay a premium, but you are not going to get your nightly rate as a STR.For example, we had a pair of physical therapists ask about a winter rental for them.

Either way, you intend to create opportunities for financial, spiritual, physical, and intellectual growth.
