I looked at the GoFundMe page and watched the video.

Watching my linens get swapped out for cheaper quality would be rather upsetting to me and I would keep all laundry at the property.

You can oversee this aspect from the background but don't try to directly engage a GC from out of State without having someone tied to your success there to watch what's going on.

Also watch for neighborhood HOAs some will have restrictions.

You still need to be involved and watch your property manager to ensure things are running well, but that takes less time than self-managing.

And you can also buy them when they're beaten down and underpriced due to market overreactions like currently, due to rapid rise in US 10yr rate.I've read and watched multiple Good Egg offerings and they are typical of many feeder funds and to be fair like many primary GP/syndicators as well for both taking on unnecessary risks and also charging confiscatory fees, as #1 they have no skin in the game and #2 they get a big cut up front whether project fails or not, find GPs that are investing >10-15% of their own cash into every deal.good luck and sorry this happenedlooks like they are a fund of funds setting up crowdfunding to invest in other offerings.

And cap-x, that's a fast way to watch great returns go to 0 fast.

I listened to podcasts, watched YouTube, read blogs and tutorials and just decided to go for it.  

Team of people watching notifications and contacting guests and if necessary going out to property to address issues.

It kills 2 birds with 1 stone in the sense that it offers me evidence that the property is cleaned and everything is in place before guests arrive and watching video after guest departs helps me make sure everything is there, and nothing is missing / damaged from last group.
