They are more like an investment club / provide coaching (I am guessing for a fee) but I as a sponsor was told we don’t get any fee or have to provide any kickbackSomeone I know who is a member noted they do not act as investment advisors or provide investment advice nor are paid based on specific investments but I am sure someone can Confirm this I wonder how they get paid then.. ???

Banks who offer construction financing tend to be 75-80% LTC and alternative/hard money lenders will sometimes offer higher LTC leverage than that.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

An alternate viewpoint is that the group is closing so many deals because they have an edge in a competitive market.

Also, nightly stays should be adjusted based on your specific pricing strategy as well (e.g. longer stays further out, shorter as dates get closer or gaps exist).

@Justin Smith wouldn't do it.Why is he willing to sell you this SPECIFIC rental and not another?

Alternatively, once you have a full time job (or an employment contract), you should be able to qualify for a loan and utilize a Down Payment Assistance program.

As a builder/investor myself some of your estimates seemed a little off to me, but those can be very market specific so its hard to say. 

However I ran a few quotes on Obie Insurance (geared specifically towards landlords) and for only the 4 houses I checked, I am saving 1,5k a year if I switch.
