Combining short term rentals and a venue is a huge advantage because guests would not have to travel far and you could offer better rates as part of a event package.My current venue focuses more on baby showers, content creation and birthday celebrations rentals.

There are landlords who are proud to own properties while offering their communities a nice and safe place to live (and enjoying the benefits of having someone else pay for your appreciating asset).

They each offer very different options, and each have different STVR rules as well.  

Doit in good faith, thus if they offer his magical number, take it.

Many distributors also offer financing and can give you an idea of what monthly loan payment you’d be looking at.

Does anyone know of a larger bank that does offer a HELOC or something similar IF it's in 3rd position? 

I'd love to talk and get you an offer on it!

But given I've paid for snow removal like once ever, I don't know what I should offer someone who is not a "pro" and already has an idea of their rate. 

Quote from @Paul Azad: Beautiful property Blake, and great growing area, i drove through a few years ago, amazing scenerey and perrenial vacation spot, would you feel comfortable sharing the structure of the syndication for the investors, fees, projected IRR, or time weighted avg returns etc from a potential passive investor perspective?

I’ve noticed that STRs with those kinds of unique offerings tend to stand out and get booked faster.Looking forward to seeing what direction you decide to take!
