A project like that will probably take 6 months to 1 year, so what's your expectation for future rents?

Not sure how you are expecting members here to assist you, when you keep making excuses to NOT help yourself?

I do not expect at least in FL that regulation will get bad enough to make STR impossible or even nearly impossible.

Everything resolved as good as could be expected w/o court (albeit full renovation was needed.)

What percentage is fair to pay sellers agent commission and would I be expected to pay buyer agent commission as well?

It calls itself “an incredible company.”Some of the rents that RAD Diversified REIT says in SEC filings that it's expecting appear to be overstated, in light of the buildings’ conditions.

That depends - if its a short term hard money loan possibly, but expect to pay more for it.I would first ask your current lender if you can extend the loan.

@Angelo CortezYou can still deduct, however STRs are reported on Schedule E, not Schedule C.The IRS expects you to file 1099s even without SSNs - which I personally always found to be puzzling.

Start by clearly outlining your renovation goals, and follow up with an in-person or virtual consultation to ensure both you and the contractor understand the vision for the project and expectations.
