And great, I'm spending a ton of time practicing deal analysis and understanding my goals to be able to identify on my end what would work for me and my portfolio, noted on the importance of taking charge of all of that. 

I put in a recurring CAPEX or replacement reserve in my analysis for things like roofs, HVAC, etc. as well as general maintenance and turnover. 

are you able to do your own analysis on the deal the syndicators are proposing?

I'm not at eviction stage yet, I have evicted tenants before. 

Those people get excited about creating an awesome guest experience, they love to nerd out about revenue management, photography, staging, and other parts of the business so they get really really good at it, and they have jobs that allow them the time to manage themselves (and this doesn't have to be a lot of time btw).

@James Coleman I would be happy to provide a 3rd party review of the property and numbers to provide you an analysis.

Portfolio lenders use more of a DSCR analysis to lending - meaning they are likely to lend to you as long as the investment can pay its debts - more so than a residential lender. 

Looking for suggestions on co-hosting, STR market analysis, RE investing for or in retirement - just reading anything I can get my hands on in my (late in life) RE journey.

@Jerome Thompson, yeah it's easy to feel stuck at this stage in the game.
