I have one of my STRs listed on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and have a direct booking site for it.

I have NEVER received a call, much less outside of normal business hours.

I received an email last week about the "opportunity" and watched Tyson Cobb's webinar.

Additionally, wages sent directly to a church are not considered charitable contributions—to qualify for a deduction, the employee must receive the income first, pay taxes on it, and then donate to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization while itemizing deductions.The IRS closely scrutinizes arrangements that appear to shift tax liability, and if deemed an attempt to avoid taxation, both the employer and worker could face serious legal consequences.

Our primary goal is to retain as much equity in our properties as possible while leveraging outside capital to scale faster.Proposed Investment Structure:Investors contribute 30% of the purchase price and 30% of furnishing/rehab costs.Our LLC secures a new purchase loan in its name only, taking on 100% of the debt.This structure allows us to maintain 70% ownership of the property.Properties will be actively managed to maximize returns, likely achieving higher upside than long-term rentals.Proposed Compensation for Investors:6% preferred return annually.After the preferred return is met, profits are split 75/25 (with investors receiving 75% of profits on their portion of ownership).Profit Calculation:Revenue – Operating ExpensesExcludes mortgage principal & interest, as our LLC assumes full responsibility for the loan.Looking for Feedback:Is this structure fair and attractive to investors while ensuring long-term alignment?

I would not plan on receiving those funds back.

I also hate to be the bearer of bad news but you aren't going to buy a single family home and cash flow and be happy with your investment. why not purchase a new construction duplex or triplex or look to build one directly?

You cant really directly use another property as collateral or cross-collateralize in this case.

I just received this message from VRBO. 

I've had direct mail, or cold calling get me closer to deals, but nothing converted yet.
