Everything I have I had to figure out myself.

But if I were you I would be making a immediate bee line back to the property (xmas or not) to figure what the heck happened and quickly make an assessment to get the property back in condition. 

Most folks overestimate the cost to prepare a space for MTR, but you'll figure out cost-savings and improvements with every iteration.

You would expect a clean title at close so if there is some issue, then either it would be resolved by the seller or the deal would fall through.

@Marty Summers Figured you'd be interested in seeing this LOL

Nowadays many vacation homes are priced as STR businesses with profits baked into the price (with future guests expecting instagram furnishings).  

I figured that.

I have become almost obsessed with figuring out how to maximize the properties I do have currently before I keep adding even more.

I would not expect a meaningfully lower rate and pmt for likely several years. 

We got our required and expected profit that we calculated at the very beginning.
