Quote from @Paul Azad: Beautiful property Blake, and great growing area, i drove through a few years ago, amazing scenerey and perrenial vacation spot, would you feel comfortable sharing the structure of the syndication for the investors, fees, projected IRR, or time weighted avg returns etc from a potential passive investor perspective?

Cash out your IRA, take a Vegas vacation, and throw it all on black.

You could form a month to month lease with a just a days notice to vacate so you could end it as soon as you get your license ready to close, the seller might be open to it.https://www.hostaway.com/blog/rental-arbitrage-joshua-tree/Or, you could continue to list on the seller's Airbnb and you could become a full-access co-host on their account - handle all communication, pricing, etc.

We want to be traveling and sailing throughout the year, not just when a job allows me to use my 10 days of vacation.

I had a friend purchase a Vacation home financed with RBC last year. 

1) 20% down will allow you to do a conventional investment loan, but you will have to either:- Qualify with the new payment + your current payment- Lease the property out, allowing the lender to use 75% of the monthly rent to offset the mortgage (confirm with a lender).2) You could also do a DSR 20% down loan, but the interest rate will be much higher than conforming rates.3) If less than 20% down, you could:- Do a 10% 2nd home loan as long as the new property is at least 50 miles from your current home or near a qualifying vacation spot (confirm with a lender).- Do a 5% down conventional mortgage if you plan to rent out current home and live in the new one for at least 12 months.

Property owners can obtain a cost segregation look-back study on their current property to recalculate the depreciation for previous tax years based on their reclassified assets.CAN I STILL DO A COST SEGREGATION STUDY IF MY CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX IS A SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL?

A general rule of thumb though (not a hard rule) is that if a market has a prolonged history of vacation rentals such as towns whose commerce is very dependent on tourism like beach or mountain towns, then there is a good chance than those towns have established their airBNB regulations decades ago and are likely stable.

Pete, or trying to do STR (vacation rentals) in the St.

I have not had an issue with the claw back scenario and if I did I would IMMEDIATELY begin the eviction process which I would then pursue relentlessly.But alas, some tenants use this trick after they have vacated your property.
