If your heart is set on investing in a location where the future of short term rentals is up in the area, definitely make sure you're prepared to convert is to a long term rental or sell it and move your money into something else more profitable.

This person was not "paid" he did receive a heart-felt acknowledgment (different kind of payment), which was graciously received.In my opinion, It is quite possible that mentoring can be achieved through the BP forum, if you choose to invest the time and energy to follow the hundreds of threads of your particular question and the ancillary questions that will arise.

I suspect at least in this case the lawyer representing the tenants would have a field day with your master lease after the fact.but if you set up the master lease before you move a tenant in on a sub lease maybe that works but it does preclude the other party to due notice and their day in court.this is the same as HML having borrowers sign DIL's at the inception of the loan.. that's not legal but done all the time and some that default just walk away but if anyone raised the issue the court would over turn the dil  in heart beat.
