If you’re actually concerned would you please reach out to me so that we can resolve this issue.

It would be best to speak to a seasoned cpa to address your tax concerns. 

I had only mentioned the Appt numbers as this is my largest concern and uncertainty.     

I asked my attorney about a quiet title action, but he is concerned that the title couldn't be cleared because the previous owner has two full years from the date the county foreclosed to challenge the sale, and it's not possible to quiet the title until the two years have elapsed because they legally have that amount of time, ie. you can't bar their claim while time remains. 

You can order a property inspection report which will show you any concerns or issues with the property.

I am concerned the check could be fake or the homeowner never gets paid.

Yeah the market and interest the best but I’m planning long term so not too much of a concern for me as long as the deal still works. 

David Bitton, Other than the marketing issue for the STR is there anything else about our use case that I should be concerned with? 

It was easy to set it up, but I am very concerned about their Price Optimizer...It tells me the average market base price is $214/night, but it provides an "Automatic base price" (an algorithmic tool based on local market demand) of $3160/night and no one from customer service can tell me why there is such a discrepancy.

That's why we are concerned...it seems like someone in these areas without state code adoption can just build a home as a homeowner, cut the corners of insurance/licensing by doing the work themselves, not have most of that work inspected, then turn around and sell as new construction instead of previously owned.
