The reason I used that method was to be able to put the property in my name or corporation or partners.  

Maybe we will partner on one in the future.

To Mike's point, it can also harm your ability to move on with a new partner who probably will not be thrilled to learn that you're still financially involved with your ex... 

HOWEVER I just met someone from PadSplit, and partnering with a company that specializes in that could be a really great approach.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

I would then use that as a lure to some of your partners for BPCON, etc., who might also want to open an outpost, as well as drive local traffic so it's not all real estate and other people want offices there too.

On the tax side, I would encourage you to partner with a knowledgeable real estate CPA who can guide you through the transaction to ensure you can meet the qualifications of the STR loophole.

(Noticed I didn't include architects in that list - from my experience most architects are great at building design but shouldn't try to do land planning.)If you have never done any development like this before than it would make sense to partner with someone who has (or flip it entirely) once you have a site plan of the property's potential.

My business partners and I are looking to branch out the investing business to include short term rental management via co hosting.

Partnering with a strong team—such as a knowledgeable realtor, property manager, and reliable contractors—will also be key to your success.
