For point #4, do you have any recommendations on how to find a good sponsor?

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

It's also nice that they have their own recommended insurer, those rates are much lower then what I would pay up in the northeast. 

Any recommendations of a good realtor who understands the needs of an out-of-state investor who works the Lorain area of OH would greatly be appreciated.

DIY tax software like TurboTax may not handle nominee interest, depreciation, or LLC structuring correctly, so working with a real estate CPA experienced in sub-to deals is recommended.

As you develop the park I would strongly recommend your homes be individually metered for water, sewer expense prorated and garbage paid by tenants via individual can service. 

I’d recommend reaching out to mortgage brokers who specialize in investor loans—they often have access to niche lenders.All the best!

I appreciate your proactive approach to connecting with fellow investors.To answer your questions:• Introducing Yourself: I recommend crafting a brief yet detailed introduction that highlights your unique experience and the markets you serve.

The majority of the messages are requests for early/late checkout, recommendations, and misc items.  

If your current CPA can't provide this type of advice, maybe try the BP pros finder tool (I will post the link below) or hopefully someone will comment here and recommend a real estate CPA that they worked with before.https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/searches/ffd0c...
