I am a solar energy specialist and know the ins and outs from the preliminaries to the set up and the final stages.  

But the 20%..... were freakin rock-stars!

Great energy with this group.

I'm sure the energy at those events is on another level. 

My biggest tip would be to attend in-person meetups; we actually have one coming up this Saturday if you are free: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1209859-lear...There is something about meeting like-minded people in person that really seems to create a positive energy. 

Over time, I also anticipate that the cashflow will improve slightly as the listing continues to excel (26 out of 27 reviews have been 5-star) and book out into the future.My current plan is to give the PM a full year to establish the listing and then revisit what my cashflow scenario looks like.

I had read 50% is a fair number to use for calculations which would raise the NOI by, drumroll...15%, but this is purely speculative) and perhaps the funds or energy to go through an upgrade if they're looking to get out of it anyway.

For you, is having a 5-star overall rating on rental sites the most crucial factor for success, or are there other aspects that you consider even more important?

Hitting that 1.20 ratio would be tough in a lot of markets though....too many unknowns to guarantee anything, but it might be worth checking into futher if you can get the stars to align.
