So visiting the property could have some value, depending on your goals of the visit.I have hosted investor tours at properties in the past, where we dedicate time with our investors and the community manager to walk the property so they can see their investment, as well as talk about current operations, how the business plan in going, and allow them to meet people on the team that they invested with. 

Washington was the operating partner, with the land being developed for small farms, houses, grain silos, tanneries, barrel manufacturing facilities, churches, stores, etc. 

I then sold the “business” (equipment, name, signs, goodwill, etc) to an operator for $50,000 cash, and the operator signed a five year 3N lease at $3,000 per month.

You should definitely check out Avery Carl's BiggerPockets book "Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth" https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-l...There is a lot of amazing insight into everything to think of while operating an STR.

So knowing scope would help narrow down on risk mitigation tactics.I guess at the end of the day, it all comes down to knowing what is needed, order of operations, and having as close to true quotes from reputable contractors in hand.Beyond that, really knowing all that is needed and having those extremely detailed scope of works for each trade before you get your bids.  

Quote from @Michael Lynch: People rarely talk about the amount of effort involved in operating a STR.Never sell a property unless you have a clear plan to reinvest the money into something that will perform better or move you closer to your goals.

My Realtor has since voiced that there were bad operations on the team and multiple mishaps with other clients — Realtors putting amendments in front of clients the day of closing and their inability to effectively communicate with clients the amenities of the units.
