Infact, I personally dont like the model where the property needs to be exited in 4-6 years to be able to realize PnL for all parties involved.

I am focusing more on long distance investing for the time being though.

The purpose of the CPL is to expand coverage beyond the commitment/policy and beyond the title insurer itself to others involved in the process (title agents)... your scenario.Quick search -- https://houston.fntic.com/getattachment/6efdc91c-3146-46bc-a...I was saying start the analysis there as that would seem be the simplest route to recovery.

Anything beyond that is going to have destructive consequences for everyone involved.  

my property manager asks 10% of total rehab cost, her team will look through the project end to end, without much of my involvement. 

Plus it would have to be a banger of a property for me to have that kind of confidence in it going the distance through all the market cycles, regulation changes, OTA market shifts etc at which point I may as well buy it.Which circles back to my original point- if I am not owning and benefiting from the appreciation, why should I absorb so much risk and upfront capital if instead I can find an underperforming property with potential, take a guaranteed return off the top and invest almost no money on my side? 

This sale usually involves a monthly payment, which is on top of the rent.

They dont have any hard stats on the success of the people in the network so they couldn't tell me how many people who paid for the network had gotten involved and had success from their process.

It took a while, and there were some fees involved, but it was totally manageable compared to what I would’ve paid with an attorney.

A smarter approach would involve thorough market research, realistic projections on occupancy rates, and understanding that not every location is still a goldmine for STRs.
