When we show up to more events or talk to him on phone calls and webinars(regularly, like every week), he KNOWS who we are and can communicate with us in a manner I have NEVER experienced before.

Good inventory but man does that office make it tough to finish rehabs in a timely manner

If managing the STR is no longer sustainable @Robbie Shiver, here are a few alternative options to explore:Mid-Term Rentals: Consider marketing to travel nurses or corporate relocations for stays of 1-6 months.

I’m aware I should’ve backed out when the inspection was done but thinking I could bare the cost - it’s not sustainable for the goals I have with this property.

Tech for most part is just a deployment item not innovation, utilizing tech to automate and do, more efficiently, what was done in antiquated manners. 

Lending in the manner in which you are talking about in CA would require you to get licensed or use a license broker and therefore cost you 1-2 points which is less money that you can earn by doing it yourself as a broker.

P and Z  is on board as this will increase the financial  sustainability of my small farm.

I've rented it out before but with my full time job, managing two STR's is a bit stressful and hard to sustain so looking for other options.

Most of the Turnkey companies that have been at this for any number of years will be the first to tell you they started in these areas and quickly learned they are not sustainable.. and moved up in asset class.. so they could continue to have a viable business.

In my experience like other things you get what you pay for. if you go with the companies that are charging super cheap rates - 5%, $100/month or something like that they don't have enough income to sustain a supportive team to actually help you manage your home. 10% is the going rate it seems in the city and that is where the better companies tend to exist.
