When the whole covid shutdown occurred, I dropped out of college to help my father's service business maintaining and remodeling residential and commercial buildings.

How do you approach educating people on the realities of the business? 

The founder appears to have been involved in businesses outside of real estate: ‘My dream is a locally made grooming products business’ | People | nashvillepost.comSo it does not appear there is a lot of track record there, but those are questions I would ask.

So some may say $30k is not worth it but I know others that launched successful syndication businesses from it.

  :)   There's so many Gurus pitching this and that without mentioning the risks to them and to the buyers.So glad to hear re your business model being fair to the buyer.   

I am learning in the real estate business as well but in the Kentucky/Tennessee Market!

I use Proper insurance, unwritten by Lloyds of London, for my STR - covers the extra issues you would expect from an STR like vandalism, alcohol liabilities, business interruption up $10k, hot-tub cooties etc.

I have a small contractor business here in Abilene that is pretty new, owned and operated by me if any of you guys need a hand.

So, get busy on your listings. 

Sell your investment property and buy the land for your business.
