My actual experience has been very varied.  

With countless loan options, complex terms, and strict lending criteria, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

The draw is actually this coming Fri for 2026The market for STR seems saturated in popular/touristic regions, however, if you have a unique property and offer affordable pricing, you may get descent occupancy. 

Or cash for keys is another option…

Some flips you will only have the budget to paint, do new flooring, etc....others will justify a higher-end remodel to get the best ROI.You just need to get a Licensed General Contractor to go over your Scope Of Work and attach a pricce to what you want to do.Now, if you wanted more precise guesses at your budget, and gave us a Zillow link...we could actually throw some numbers at you.

Hi David, If building long-term equity and scaling quickly are priorities, then option 2 aligns better for you. 

Today I had a heater issue and snow company that was late handling commercial before residential so we ended up clearing it.Open to each option.

You should fire them right away and talk to an attorney to prevent the loss, but I wouldn't expect much and it could be a waste since a company that does this will not have the money to do anything.When you have just one unit and you are looking for PM companies, your options are the bottom of the barrel because it's not a good use of the big one's time.

I have considered turnkey properties as an option

I suppose something more turn-key could be a good option, but haven't come across many viable options there yet.Anyways, we still have a lot more to learn and still need to familiarize ourselves with the area/market, but just wanted to pop in to say hi!
