Vacation rental program
My partner and I have have been discussing multiple strategies to break into the industry. We are interested in purchasing a vacation rental and immediately participating in a rental program. We have enough capital for 20% down on $200k-$250k property but would need a loan for the remainder. Any insight on the type of loan and how we could put the property in a LLC would be great. Also any specific areas or companies that are professionally managed and well kept would be great. We would love to be near a beach and not necessarily looking to make money just generate enough to cover all expenses.
Thanks to all

If you are set on having it "professionally" managed, you might break even. It's not hard to self manage from a distance, but it's not for everyone either.
St. Augustine is a top tourist destination, near the beach, and options for managers. I do it easily from 1000 miles away.
Of course, there's the Great Smokey Mountains, a long time STR area with many managers but so many self-managers here too.
It's just a matter of time before @Luke Carl replies to you:)
