I personally prefer staying in a nicer STR and appreciate nicer finishes, details, and a unified ascetic, and want to provide a similar experience to our future guests.  

Many companies are offering STR coverage.I will also say don't listing to a single person who tells you AirBNB and VRBO 1m dollar guarantee is insurance.

An LLC is used for business related assets.A house-hack is a partially personal / partially business related assetAn LLC is normally best when personal and business are not 'comingled'best to talk to an attorney to see if you will get the asset protection you are looking for.

A person who invests in extremely cheap properties.

We have a core 4 in TN area and a personal connection to both areas.

I supply toilet paper, paper towels, liquid hand soap at all sinks, dishdetergent, dishwasher pods, one new dishwashing sponge, spray oil, salt & pepper (I buy the plastic disposable ones for picnics so they can't be refilled) and a few other spices, trash bags, some cleaning supplies such as Simple Green and microfiber cloths, coffee filters, plastic wrap, ziploc baggies, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets.Guests are asked to bring their own shampoo, conditioner, personal soap for showers, sugar, creamer and coffee. 

If we name someone other than our daughters as executors, that person cannot make a deal with you as the authority to sell the property passed to our daughters, the trustees, as the property is now in their hands.

If not, it is what it is and if you personally want to move to Texas than so be it and you may need to sell it.Now, if you can keep the first one and still afford a second one then great.

It is something I wouldn't use personally.

But generally yes, I personally have seen people (just spoke to one today) that took over a property doing 40k with a PM and going to 83k.
