I would call those contractors and ask the same thing about this property as you did those other two guys.

Smells like fraud.

I work a regular 8-5 job but would like to learn about real estate investments to achieve financial independence.

I've got something like that I used for a client a couple of years ago: Proforma with Tax Savings. 

Stessa had this all done by default. 

I'm in Texas and we do something like a $300 NR fee and a lot of owners choose to do a range of $25-$35/mo per pet.

This is more about inventory and not STR returns. 

Most likely, vacancy.

So maybe this simply won't work. 

I’m actively seeking opportunities to connect with others in the industry whether it’s s sharing knowledge, exchanging leads, or partnering on deals.If you’re re an investor looking for new deals, or if you’re just starting out like me and want to learn together, feel free to reach out!
