We do not get involved with their disputes.

With short term rentals, you tend to take a larger cut as there are many things involved in the day to day upkeep, think 12-25%.

It's like a ponzi scheme but you're involving an adult that literally has no cash or asset to his or her name.

Marketing homes during this period involves creative strategies, such as seasonal staging and targeted online promotions, to attract buyers even amid holiday distractions.

This could involve adding new information (e.g., embedding a link to a ski shuttle schedule) or setting expectations (e.g., noting that there’s no A/C, which is an rare amenity in our climate anyway).

BUT I feel like I still have to have a ton of involvement especially with multiple rehabs etc, to dictate what expense is from what property and what the purchase was for etc. to be sure deductions and depreciation are correct.

Talk to local property managers, investment agents, and others involved in in the real estate in the area.

Don’t be involved with those properties in ANY other way (management, lending, repairs, etc.) 

I live in the US and some of the questions I have involve lending options to help me out with the construction loan and approaches to managing the property as a short-term vacation rental.

This is a perfect time to get your qualified intermediary involved if you don't already have one.
