@Geoff Engel If you don't want to be a landlord but still want to be involved with investing you could be a private money lender for flips or in partnerships and bring the money to the deal.

I’d love to hear about any successful (or not-so-successful) partnership experiences to learn from.3.

Otherwise, a partnership, private lenders, or even hard money lenders might be an option.

There will likely be a partnership return required where you flipped a house with a partner and lost $120,000.If you sold the other property within the same partnership, it will also be reported on that partnership return.The net result to you is that you will receive a K-1 showing your income / loss which you then use to report on your individual return.If you made no money within the same year, you likely pay no additional taxes / get no additional refund.Best of luck.

I welcome any guidance, mentoring, and potential partnership opportunities as we progress in our journey.Thank you for the opportunity to connect. 

Looking forward to building a strong network and creating win-win partnerships!

While you work on that, you could also explore creative financing options like DSCR loans or partnerships to fast-track your first STR.

You've only owned it six months, so you probably haven't dealt with vacancies, maintenance, or capex, but you should be setting money aside for those things.Your partnership agreement (if you have one) should address exit options.

For more bookings, consider promoting on social media or offering last-minute deals.Regarding ticket partnerships, local attractions or smaller groups might be more flexible than larger platforms like Xplorie.

I also diversify into alternative real estate, like self-storage, to stay ahead of emerging trends.I’ve learned valuable lessons over the years, particularly the importance of clear communication and aligning expectations in partnerships.
