“If we are unable to continue to raise sufficient capital through this offering, there is a strong likelihood our business will fail and you may lose your entire investment.”RAD declined to directly answer detailed lists of questions from The Inquirer, saying in a statement that they contain “various inaccuracies.”The firm did say it works to “comply with all securities, licensing, landlord-tenant, and other applicable laws and regulations.”Now, the SEC wants to tell federal prosecutors about allegations concerning the divergence between RAD’s online pitches and its more downbeat official self-descriptions.ADVERTISEMENTThe allegations are contained in a complaint sent to the SEC by a fraudster-turned-self-styled whistle-blower named Barry Minkow, who said he gathered material from RAD for his report by pretending to be a potential investor in the company.Late last month, the SEC asked Minkow for his consent to share the document with the Office of the U.S.

Starting with the Right PropertyGiven that this is your first STR and you’re planning to manage remotely, I’d suggest focusing on a market with a strong local infrastructure for short-term rentals—like Panama City Beach or Destin.

Both Indianapolis and Louisville are excellent markets to consider—affordable entry points, landlord-friendly laws, and steady rental demand.Since your background is in data science and analytics, you already have a strong foundation for analyzing deals.

Huntsville, AL, showed—and continues to show—strong appreciation.

My experience with S8: There is a reasonably strong correlation between S8 tenants and tenants that do not take care of a rental property. 

Providing strong supporting data from your Airbnb bookings, market comps, and STR reports will strengthen your case and help you close faster! 

Here are some reasons to get the ball rolling:Thriving Market: Florida's population continues to boom, fueled by warm weather, a strong job market, and a business-friendly climate.

While many out-of-state investors may purchase properties without an in-person visit, first-time buyers or those new to real estate are strongly advised to conduct a site visit.

My Insurance Agent has strongly recommended that I put a Construction Agreement in place with my Contractor to shield me from liability, etc. 

@Robert MedinaI agree with @JD Martin that you’re in a strong position with $600/month cash flow and a solid equity base.
