I had that happen to me personally when I was a renter and the house was being sold and shown by a realtor.

VRBO and Airbnb has built in messaging to handle checkin, checkout etc.

Quote from @John Anderson: Hi all,I hold a rental property free and clear in my personal name.

I've seen this with STRs in Colorado as well.Tenants rights advocates might be happy how Airbnb handles these things (and I'm not a tenant hater, by any means), but I do like the comfort of keeping the deposit in our hands, not the hands of a third-party neutral.

Days primarily working at or on the property are not personal use days.

How would you handle this situation?

We're actively making offers and want to make sure we're handling this the right way while keeping the process efficient.Thanks in advance!

How did you handle it?

When we start working with new clients, one of the first things we check is how their finances are structured, and more often than not, it’s all jumbled together.We’ve seen property income going into personal checking accounts, expenses paid with the owner’s Amex, and bookkeeping done off a spreadsheet labeled “rental tracker.”

Since it is my first property, is it best to just do it from my personal or is it best to form an LLC prior?
