Looking into the STR market, i would suggest a couple things to include into your property search. 1) the STR market is very saturated here so look for something unique or offer unique amenities to your guests, this will help your property stand out 2) different set of rules for properties located within city limits vs without i.e. outside city limits doesn’t require a permit which the city is cracking down on the amount of STRs on any given street or neighborhood 3) HOA is a big deterrence as a lot of HOAs don’t want any rentals of less than 30 days so an in depth search into covenants and by laws would be doing your due diligence.

The less conservative is: operate as a finder or co-GP but with very good, conservative counsel to keep everyone in the clear.I recommend you read up on "disgorgement penalties", and make sure the sponsors that are recruiting you have done the same, before jumping into this co-GP/Finder ship.

I own that mistake, but I haven't been impressed with WWC efforts in how they try to pitch LPs to re-invest more money in sinking ships.

I jumped ship and tried my own SEO / Adwords campaigns, hired experts and did all the right things but couldn't generate an abundance of leads let alone anything of quality.
