I own a high-demand business that I've been planning on selling anyway but that sale will take a minimum of 6 months, so I can't use that for the initial purchase. 

Also, I assume a 10% property management fee in my calculations and based on initial conversations.

Through connections with people in various markets, I was able to establish short-term rentals internationally, manage properties in different states, and diversify my investments in a way I hadn’t initially planned.A lot of these opportunities came from contacts I made over time.

For the experienced cohosts in the group, I’d love to get your thoughts on payment processing options for cohosting companies (LLCs) that position themselves as property management companies but operate without a broker’s license.As an investor and soon-to-be STR entrepreneur, my business will initially focus on managing a small portfolio of vacation rentals with plans to scale. 

My strategist explained possible implications could be (1) longer initial vacancy (~60 days), and (2) potential for PM team to not perform well (as there was not yet a proven track record of their work with RTR).After much discussion, we pivoted to a townhouse in Dundee, FL.

To do so, I need an initial team who can cover the following aspects of these projects:- Wholesaler- Contractor (Inspection oriented)- Equity Partners (Project Incentives)Once the deals are in place, the financing support will be through personal capital for upfront costs, with the intention to raise private capital and include hard-money lenders as-needed.

Any contact I've had with them has been at my initiation, even though I told the agent I would be ready to buy at the first of the year. 

We’re open to zero or slightly negative cash flow initially, as long as the deal provides solid equity potential.

There are training sessions you can sign up for on the site, these are live with no recording of the sessions. 

You can initiate an auction or wait for ones to pop up that have been initiated by others.
