It is not difficult to debug the future from their investments using their own website.most STR/LTR syndication that had strong presence should be :- working in local niche market only- has five to ten years experience- had open book / track record mentality- the audited financial statement should be available to understand the business.STR market itself is very risky investment in my opinion, now you add fund/syndication then you have double big problem.one out of five hotel syndication is going for bankruptcy in the last two years , and we expect STR to survive ?

Use someone who is well-versed in STRs.We had an STR specific photographer do our properties and it doubled our revenue in one month.

In the ideal scenario, we picture keeping the property as a cash flowing asset forever and letting our kids deal with it after we die.BUT, if that doesn't happen, and we decide to sell in 7 years or 10 years, I'm going to kick myself for losing out on the capital gains tax exclusion of $500k.

The floors I see in that last picture especially look fine to me as-is for a student rental.

Premiums have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled for some.
