It goes back to what I said in the past posts those “buddies” have brought me some of the best deals in my life so of course I would help them out!

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be.

A lot of hosts I know use pool fences, safety signs, and provide life jackets to help reduce risk.

My residential is long term so I can't speak to MTR, but I can say it's the slowest market I've ever seen in my life right now.

Mechanicals, roofs etc. can be towards the end of their useful life and pass inspection but then the cap ex can't be absorbed in many of these C/D neighborhoods.

I have read multiple books on the subject but I am lacking someone in my life that has already walked through the process. 

My motto, "Honesty, Integrity, and Accountability," has always been my guiding principle—not just in business, but in my personal life as well.

We have 8 business entities availing of their services, and as "advisors", they should make business life easier -- not add more work on your plate --- but instead, my team and I have been checking for mistakes, or following up on action items, missed deadlines, and paying penalties to the IRS and Secretaries of State due to their negligence.

I know it defies logic, but many things in life defy logic and the evidence I've experienced follows suit.
