I am trying to understand how that dynamic may change if I was sponsored by a broker outside of our office.

In 4 or 5 years you will have appreciation and a solid number of years with 2% remaining.  

These are top drive-to destinations for much of the Southeast, so short-term rentals here can generate solid cash flow, especially during peak seasons.The area is also seeing steady growth, with more infrastructure and amenities being added to support visitors and new residents.

Ergo my having to flip it :) we still have a solid 7 bagger on the flip though.

When the time came to sell, I anticipated a solid profit from the deal.

It doesn't seem this "accelerator program" is offering anything of true value and quite frankly I am surprised someone such as yourself who has 10 years of experience and owns 50 properties would fall for a gimmick.I've had friends and family swindled by the gurus and seminars out there (I've been duped myself before) so I can understand the cynicism, but not every community is just a gimmick.

However, I understand where you are coming from… I don’t usually partner on anything because.. why not just do the deal myself?  

Tyler local, so sparked my interest whenever I see anyone post about the area.Given that your duplex is fully paid off and generating a steady cash flow of $1400 per month, it's understandable that you're having second thoughts about selling it.

The owner was motivated due to personal circumstances and wanted to avoid the hassle of listing the property publicly.To negotiate the deal, I started by understanding the seller’s priorities.

What I am trying to understand is after Coachella ends, would it still have the strong recurring demand/occupancy for STRs?
