Question...I'm now two years into my first STR - a cabin in Murphy NC that is doing fairly well for me.

HOWEVER..I'm getting a fair number of deals with significant cashflow and equity that make these amazing buy-and-hold opportunities at 2 and 3% interest.

Even though the nightly rate is high, the RE has such high value that the margins are fairly tight.  

I'd hesitate to work with those, just me though.I dont know Spartan as well as I know others.. but I am fairly certain they are the actaul turn key provider and RW is a marketing company but I think RW does more than just TK .So in this instance CR is the BAlt based TK company ..

Fair market rent for these is $800.

Finding a new and reliable handyman or team can be done fairly quickly.

At 1.98M and 32 units, that is a fairly low price per door. 

People with no skin in the game are telling you it is not hte blue mans fault even based on what you told them. 

I think the charge is fairly nominal from what I have seen.

You should be able to get a reasonable idea of the construction cost fairly quickly.
