But if you only have one rental and you get a bad tenant you are sunk.Read the laws and talk to some mom/pop landlords with decades of experience.

My first question for you would be what your experience is?

Quote from @Matthew Brown: I'm looking to find others invested in the Fairway America Vivo Rancho Cordova syndication deal to discuss their experience with this investment and Fairway America, overall. 

It might be best to hold off until you hear of other BP members who have experience with them. 

This flip at 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, was a learning experience as it was the first for my business partner and me.

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

Anyone have experience or know anyone I could talk to about getting work done in that area?

I have no experience in those countries but I do in South Africa with there VAT. 

Anyone have some first hand experience with RADD/REIT that Dutch Mendenhall runs.

Also, how do you factor or account for an area/town that experiences lots of seasonal tourism, compared to the town that does not?
