The renovations mentioned on the listing are the exact renovations carried out on the property so its a very transparent process.

I've found that in my personal connections that simply sharing the information and being transparent has worked the best.

Bill's is forthright upfront, and transparent.

I went to a bunch like this in Northern Virginia and they were fine because they were transparent about what they were doing.  

We strongly believe that diversifying the various investments is important and offer extreme transparency. 

As I have done before I'm a big fan of transparency and this forum, and will happily talk to anyone that has concerns about how we do business.

I agree that it is very transparent and insulting to our intelligence in the STR community. 

Hey mate,Property managers tend have quite a few hidden fee's.For example:Tenant placement feeLease renewal feeMaintenance up chargeEviction up chargeGranted, PM's gotta make some money also but just ask for the PM agreement if the fee structure isn't transparent enough on the property managers website.Just my 2 cents.Thanks 

What are other questions we should discuss in advance.any advise, any sample document.Thanks look at 10 joint venture deals before you do one. talk to others in other markets. if he isn't smart enough to negotiate capital or JV deals or structured finance I wouldn't touch him. every cost should be fully transparent with their margin. similar structures with investors in columbus we are the general and everything is negotiable. he should also be qualified talk to a bank first. we take title in a single purpose entity we are the LP less than 20% and the qualifier and the main investor puts the cash and gets the loan, I'm also licensed and normally sell to out of state investors. 

Kudos to the sponsors that are being transparent but many sponsors are not, and continue to provide the "we are not distressed" messaging up until the day that they send a capital call request to investors.
