I didn't realize it at the time but through my first few jobs I was fortunate to work alongside teams who were true real estate finance experts and learning through observation was critical to my personal real estate investing growth. 

Quote from @Jessie Dillon: just my 2 cents.. i'm not a fan of the syndication model. there are better ways to invest more passively where you have more of a say in what goes on, can achieve higher returns, and can have your personal interests at a higher priority. 

Now, if you haven't yet, now is the time for you to go see the situation in person.  

Questions they will have is who is the owner, what experience do they have, is their key person insurance against them etc. 

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.

Personally, I'd go with the As-Is scenario.

This is so I know if I should keep the person I currently have.

Private money and personal funds.

One-person rental units are in the highest demand, and co-living directly appeals to this market.
