This party won’t last forever, no one tells you when to get out, sometimes you realize too late. 

The issue in a partnership is that it has to make sense to the other party.

The best part is the free CD is nothing more than a bunch of vague suggestions about how you can make all this money in real estate and vague bragging sessions about how he has been around so long and wants to give you all his knowledge before he croaks (paraphrased) Someday I will be completely immune to the crooks attempts at separating me from my hard earned money.

Challenge: It's in a neighborhood (no HOA), and renting the entire property (sleeps 25 in total) caused problems in the neighborhood, due to noise and parties – so we only rent the separate cabins now.

Instead, build a solid bench of 3rd party vendors; HVAC, plumber, handyman, etc..When considering whether or not to make a hire, most of it depends on how many hours you can dedicate to that individual each week, at least when hiring a maintenance tech.

Hopefully you can state simply (and truthfully)  at the end of the showing that you have other interested parties to whom you are showing the property and will let them know in due course.  

Sounds like I'm late to the party.

This used to be a near-impossible task for a company like BiggerPockets, but technology and 3rd party solutions are getting better.

It's a lot easier for both parties and cheaper for the company.

I am not sure if anyone else saw it:"Full and Liquidated Damages": This limits both parties to just the damages stated in the contract.
