I’ve used furnished finder and airbnb to see listings so I can get an idea of rates but vacancy has been a little more difficult to nail down.

So I just created an LLC and it was formed with the State about a week ago so I have a little under 70 days left to decide which tax classification I would like to elect before it is defaulted as a disregarded entity, for a single owner. 

I don't think that's an unreasonable request after two days. 

If you just need "written notice" then an email will suffice.

Now the container home could be an issue.

You have to know how to analyze properties so you can get a property that is a deal for an investor.

In either case, you have to pay up to 25% on the 1250 depreciation recapture for any rental property and CG on the portion of the proceeds proportionate to the amount of time it was used as an investment, sooooo...things would be complicated and the savings on the second unit may not work out being that great.

How about for an exactly one-year-old lease?

I'm at my wit's end and really can't afford to hire an attorney.

I was approached with an opportunity and being a newbie I wanted to see is these members made sense to a more seasoned investor.
