Obviously we don't even open a link if it has less that 4 stars (honestly 4.5) and from there we read over all of the reviews!

The ones showing 5 stars all look and sound the same, I'm sure they were paid for that. 

There is a 5 Star Resort there, golf course, beach, and some tasty restaurants.

We did have a set of guests who left dents in the drywall, blood and vomit on the sheets and towels, gave zero heads-up, then got upset they got a 1-star rating instead of the 5 they're used to.

Look pretty good, bulbs every 2 feet and a 4.5 star rating average.

@Saurabh Kukreja, rarely are the stars aligned to make investing easy and simple.

Not everyone is a total rock star like you ;) All the best bud.  

This will be helpful in your research.Rent To Retirement actually has more 5 star reviews than any other company on Bigger Pockets, so I recommend doing your own research from people that have actually invested with us and understand how our process works. 

There were a few slight distractions like figuring out financing, selling a neighboring lot (that I had also acquired via letter writing) on Craigslist, rent out my RV, rent out my house, make my first ever documentary film (a twenty minute short called Kara, Star Of The World about a woman with a traumatic brain injury from a childhood ski accident), take any photo and video work I could get, start a 360 photography company, create social media channels to hype the build, parent two small kids, do a beautiful and excruciating tandem mountain bike ride across Scotland, drive my family on RV trips to Colorado/Arizona/Utah/Nevada/California/Wisconsin/Minnesota/Michigan/Florida, attempt to write a novel and adopt a puppy.The above may read as humble brag, it is not.

The way I looked at it was this - most guests have just a few reviews, usually less than 5....so your 1 star review will take their average down by a LOT.
