The plan is to keep operating the property as a PadSplit post-acquisition.

Simplify the structure as much as possible, have clear roles and responsibilities that are not overlapping (meaning only one person is allowed to make certain decisions) and a clearly defined exit plan.

Will you lend to a retirement plan (which will prohibit a PG)?

Any insights, tips, or recent experiences would be greatly appreciated as I plan my next move!

This could easily cost you $10’s of thousands if you plan to stay in the home 5+ years when you return. 

@Josh Ball thanks Joh - plan to do all comms via vrbo messaging Appreciate your quick response

The 1% rule is best only used as a quick and dirty evaluation used to pick which property you plan on running additonal calculations on.

,  occupancy rates, capex plans, competitor rental rate study, market study, etc.  

I plan to call lender on this but don't want to wave any red flags. thoughts?

But I know that the leaders are working on plans to fix it and they are very skilled and effective.
