Her ROI is not unusual for overseas investors - maybe different here in the US?  

Also, I was just there for a week and there is an unusual amount of new construction homes for sale as well as other homes that could be potential STR's sitting on the market - these would typically be always gobbled up in a hot STR market. 

It may be an unusual way to do it but nobody has shown that it won't work.

Have an unusual background.  

Zero worries about the title or the loan's borrower, tax-wise.If your LLC files its own separate tax return (which would be unusual for your situation and requires another conversation) - your LLC can still treat this STR as LLC-owned, but you would need to create some documents to make things compliant.Now, to potential complications.

Anthony,That seems highly unusual.

One needs to know how to force this unusual treatment of losses.b.

It is unusual to find a 100+ yr old property without some plaster cracks somewhere. 

thank you for an amazing threadI had a couple college rentals which I collected  the years rent upfront with double security deposit and signers on the lease were parents and had to have excellent credit and plenty of income I made almost as much money in damage fees as I did on rent Or unusual to receive 5 figure checks from parents for wine stained carpet.  

Agree with @Marcus Auerbach unless something unusual is in play like the sketchy lending practices we saw years back that caused RE bubble to burst I envision the ebbs and flows as more subtle based on supply and demand.
