You have to determine if your business plan is to always shop around for rates or is it to make your lender part of your team.If they are part of your team and know your plans it doesn't matter. 

Tools I use for my STR business are Hospitable, Safely, & Touchstay.Important note to consider:If you're the go-getter type with time to spare and want to be hands-on, I'd recommend self managing and capturing as much revenue as you can by implementing tools like PriceLabs, Hospitable, TouchStay, etc to run a more efficient STR!

However this is more circumstantial and may not apply to your situation.My suggestion is to focus more on the operations of your business.

With that crew, how many flips do you need to plan in a year to keep them busy?

How long should the company have been in the business?

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

I have closed on multi-family, residential to selling business opportunities. 

I relied totally on JWB & Horizon to guide me thru the process, but as I'm getting closer to closing the deal, I'm getting cold feet realizing that I should have done all of my homework myself. what if it's a mistake and certainly don't want any legal issues. do I need to register my LLC in FL as a foreign entity doing business there since it'll be collecting rents?

Hi Jay,The house is owned by an LLC, and I'm not sure an FHA or a conventional loan will furnish such a loan with a business entity.

I saw it as well, the only way is if you want to run/create a business in that space.
