I have a mentor i've been shadowing for about a year now as well.

In my view they made the correct decision and if you spent significant time recovering this cost, well I think we all know what that is. 

These are all STR communities that have similar amenities, close to Disney and have various sized homes that do well in the STR space. 

I'd happily accept the former, though the 16% YOY property tax increase would be a non-starter for me.

My thoughts as well.

You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.

Well, it sounds like you was tearing it up. 

Was wondering if anyone knows a guy/girl that can't help me acquire sed property off market for a better price. 

You need to do the research too if your area would be bringing in more money as an STR, some areas would do better as a long term rental as well. 

So I have a house I am going to be selling in a couple weeks, but I’m confused about what the agents are saying.
