I like the 50/50 split myself- it "sounds" the most fair, and perceptions are important.It also depends on what services you're offering.

My concern as an investor in such a deal is that first you probably didn't underwrite correctly, and second that you structured the waterfall such that I receive all of the profits and once you figure that out you'll abandon the project and I'll have to take over and finish it.To avoid that perception, and potentially that reality, you should consider structuring your offering with terms closer to market and triple-check your underwriting to ensure that you are underwriting conservatively, with full awareness that conditions today are about as good as they'll ever get and when things get worse you can not only survive, but produce a result somewhere in the same universe as you projected.

I wouldn't trust the listing agent, that's for sure.You don't want to operate where you aren't welcomed by the neighbors. even if nothing passes, a complaining neighbor can ruin your and your guests experiences.We're in Farmington and things have been going well, but a few additional units have popped onto Airbnb of late, and our concern is less about competition and more about them ruining the perception for us if they aren't operating well and don't behave as good neighbors.

Be sure to evenly apply them to all applicants to avoid the perception of Fair Housing violations-How will you do credit/criminal/eviction screening?
