NEED HELP: I am looking for assistance in lawyers and other experienced syndicate mangers to seek advice and some guidance. 

Seek guidance from financial advisors or real estate experts if needed, and don't hesitate to continuously educate yourself about the evolving landscape of real estate investments.

Quote from @Jeffrey Mair: Hello, I am seeking advice or creative ideas to move closer to the goal of owning a home in San Diego county without the obvious solution of selling off my small rental portfolio.

You're taking a great first step by joining this group and seeking guidance.

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on improving the performance of our short-term rental, and I’d really appreciate your insights.

I’ve worked with clients exploring similar opportunities, and here’s a bit of guidance based on what I’ve seen succeed.1.

To be clear I’m seeking to raise the money from family and friends who are interested in getting into real estate and STR’s.

Would it be worth seeking a free consultation with a real estate attorney to evaluate my case?

I don't have a good understanding of your desires or what you are seeking.  

The thread was intended to seek guidance on completing the deal, and even If I disagree with opinions I understand it doesn't make either side more or less valid.
