Hi Savannah,     Still trying to get a grasp on the market in Hartford myself. 

For payments, tools like Stripe, PayPal, or booking software like OwnerRez work well.Happy to connect if you’d like to chat more or need additional tips!

I’m also open to exploring short-term rentals, private lending, or passive investing in funds—anything that maximizes returns while keeping risk and time commitments manageable.For context, I’d consider leaving my job if this could become a full-time venture that surpasses my current compensation (low-mid six figures).

U need to flip the return  75% to the money and 25% to you if have any hope of finding someone to do this that is not friends and family.. 10 to 15% is way to little for the risk of being a gap funder.. if the project does not work gap funder is the one who loses money..

I’m happy to share my own tips and experiences as well.

On its face, this is a scam.

Have you thought about this approach or considered a phased plan to build up your portfolio?

Any tips on managing joint ownership or deciding to hold or sell would be greatly appreciated.
