Spackle and paint numerous times, fill holes in the wall, have had to wake up early to move my car due to the parking situation, etc. - Have had to sit down all five tenants and reset expectations in terms of cleaning (including the 68 year old co-worker).3.

Simply document your attempts to remedy the issue.

I simply said the issue wasn't a lease item, but he was welcome to walk over and talk to my tenant...he never did.

I needed to fill some important holes in my arsenal and the investment to join the community would allow me to fill these holes far quicker than I could do on my own. 

Sure, in theory, the strategy this investor used might sound clever, but it’s also incredibly risky to rely solely on the compliance of a borrower—especially when they might not fully understand the terms or simply can't agree due to their personal situation.I have tons of ideas that might look good on paper, but I don’t pursue them because I assess the real risks involved.

I earned good money as a server and simply used it to go on my next adventure and that was all I really needed.

@Chris Seveney, you simply DON'T UNDERSTAND how investments work.  

Most often because of wildfire risk or simply because it's an STR, but sometimes because of the high property value.  

Simply trying to beat big box/Costco pricing and their retail prices aren't less.

Never done it either, we've been approached to lend by some investors looking to do it.The risk of insurances rates skyrocketing or simply being cut off makes it extremely difficult.You also have to consider rental demand.
