I was drawn to this investment mainly to test out the new padsplit model.

I won’t sugar coat it when I first got in I didn’t realize the over head cost to run a business .

What's a good IRR for this multi unit retail business?

Weather cools, people are busy with school, resting from summer, prepping for the holidays, etc.

Don't apologize, don't explain how the 'chosen' tenant was more qualified than they were, wish them well in their search.You're running a business and you've made a business decision. 

I only pay for BP leads and all other business comes from my sphere/referrals. 

In general, my overall feeling was that Doorvest is good if you're super busy and don't have time to really dig into real estate.

The down side is that STRs are more work, need to furnish it, pay for utilities and WiFI but in the right market (vacationers and business travelers) it could work. - If I were looking at cash flow as a really important important metric, I'd consider starting a business.

I think you get the idea of how much I make.This is the monthly statement for my business. 

Sometimes, mixing family and business can be difficult, but I am happy you all are thriving.
