As for showings we typically decline people who want to see the property before renting but have made exceptions for very long (and lucrative stays). 

My theory is that not too many people want to buy them - the people living in those areas don't have a high enough income, credit score etc to purchase at 7% interest rates and it's investors who have a high risk tolerance who will buy them (like me and I don't have a high risk tolerance, just made a bad decision). 

If this STR business is viable, or if there are better options for shielding W2 and rental income, I am funded and ready to roll.

Millions were made by knowing how to maneuver those rules.

Don’t I wish.LPI is just a made-up term for a fake product.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Probably they haven't been in business too long, then.By the way, the W-9 is the informational form that the vendor fills out and gives to you, which allows you to report the payment you made to them on the 1099 form.

we have a new triplex we are getting ready to start building on a few plots on OTE / near east district on infill lots through a council variance process. first group is from New York doing it with us but it would be nice to do this with owner occupants. 

I made alot of money splitting a 5 acre parcel into 5-1 acre lots .They sold very quickly owner financed by me.

Rent is too high, so my family has been blessed to bunk with family to get ready for our first house hack with short or medium term rentals.
