My family has multiple personal cabins in the area and has witnessed this change over the last few years and how drastically the area is changing. 

If you are bored in the sea you can hiking in the tropical forest, only 20 minutes away, at night witnessing lava flowing from Mauna Loa eruption.

As a former syndicator and 1982 National President of the Real Estate Securities & Syndication Institute I have personally witnessed to many horror stories of well meaning folks trying to raise money from investors without good legal advice.Be sure to contact a good securities attorney in your state to inquire about small capital raising exemptions which are not too difficult to comply with.I recently got a private letter ruling from my state allowing me to bring in one limited investor without having to file anything with the state.

There are no foundations issues, no cracks in the brick or sheet rock, which is rare in the DFW metroplex in my price range(I am sure DFW investors would witness for me on that one).

I'm witnessing it.Hope that brings a fresh perspective without too much controversy.

If I had not witnessed first hand the fall out and damage done by this model I would not be so vociferous about it.We had a company in the 80s in CA .. called CA wrap  LOL.. and that's when the AITD just came out.. lots of experience at this.. for the well cashed up buyer who is a true professional in the industry it works... but as a general Scheme for those starting out or under capitalized its a very risky move.So for a seller to do this its very risky.. it just is...

We dive in on so many cool topics like entrepreneurship, his beginnings here at BiggerPockets, the power of saying no to get to yes, what it is like to be niche famous, online privacy, how to live a worry-free life, trusting people, kindness, giving and gifting, the power of experiences, productivity, intentionality, fatherhood and much more.Oh, and you also get a chance to witness the dynamic duo back at it . . . what more would you want!

I have to admit I personally do not have any experience in turnkey properties, but have witnesses multiple people get burned.

A third party that might have witnessed what was going on, neighbors, security etc can carry some weight.Don't let up on VRBO.

You could also fight and argue with them for 20 hours a week, stay up at night figuring out strategy, thinking of witnesses and asking neighbors for statements about the height of the grass and noise of the dog.
