Opening a new fund or operating company and not reporting on the old fund’s results3.

Park Hill Golf Course was owned by a trust, in the wayyy distant past it was previously a dairy farm, but it has been operated as a golf course since the 1930's!

-The mention of syndication being less risky than HML...I'd suggest it is more risk, possibly much much more since you don't know whether you are good or bad at vetting the operator right now.

Just make sure you are saving towards those slow months during the peak months, buy a deal at the right price (don't overpay just because its a turnkey STR or you think it will make more money than projected), and look into ways to increase bookings during those slow months with some marketing and operation tweaks. 

If you want the furniture, just negotiate that and put it in the contract.Could you lease it from them for those 3 months and operate under their permit till yours is available?

Your best bet would be to connect with local operators and ask them.

It's not simple, sorry.If you have not closed, consider tax mitigation strategies such as a 1031 exchange.

I recently sold one I had on Seabrook Island because the club/regime/HOA were frequently changing the rules and making it harder to operate smoothly.

If you are accredited, the best thing to do would be to invest 50k into a syndication and soak up all the knowledge of how it works from an experienced operator before you make the decision whether it's your plan.

I'll also add that Bonnie's group is a great resource with operators from 0-Bonnie.
