In fact, many, though not all, of these “experts” are washed up and no longer active in the market.

This development, spanning nearly 6 square miles, promises to create thousands of jobs, generate economic activity, and transform the local economy.

If this current realtor isn't getting it done for you, I have a broker/PM that fits that description that I can connect you with if you'd like.There are also very active investor groups on Facebook if you want to try the FSBO route.

We are actively submitting LOI’s and interviewing PM’s, inspectors, and insurance agents.

I find this screens out any guests that could have issues and lays the groundwork for a great stay.It also weeds out folks (in our case) that aren't understanding the distance to town and certain activities in our area.

@Nadia Jones Starting and running a fund is a separate business because it's something that you need to actively market for and regularly work on attracting capital to invest in. 

You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.

This is often more difficult to find but one strategy would be to talk with STR investors who are active in the market there. 

Instead of trying to actively manage investments in singles and doubles have you considered investing passively in syndications?

I know when I was an active Broker my SOP  was get listing open escrow with buyer to be determined and order the preliminary title report prior to spending money on marketing someones property..
