Does anyone have experience of setting up a STR while in the same position? 

Read "Set for Life" by Scott Trench or "The House Hack Strategy" by Craig Curelop.

We have many hundreds of 5 star reviews (see the full set for yourself  https://www.trustpilot.com/review/nomadlease.com) that demonstrate this.Thanks for all the discussion and let me know if I can answer any questions!

@Jonathan Small - it  seems like you have a great situation with your current set up.

Of course, you can always contact a prospective fund operator directly and ask them your own set of DD questions (ask for their track record, properties that the fund has acquired thus far, performance of the fund, past funds that have closed to investors and how they have performed, etc).  

While using QuickBooks it is a mind set and you have to accept the process and procedures to use it as a real estate and property management software.

But the GP made there money setting the deal up front and not so much thru the end cycle.  

I do not do a lot of volume, so it would take me a long time to get a good data set just based on those numbers. 

I set up tax lien as a keyword alert so I get alerted when someone mentions them.

Are you just working with a small set of report borrowers?
