Don't let it control you and I am glad you asked.You really don't want to rely on appreciation to make up for the poor performance as a STR.This is too much of a risk IMHO.

I have clients that have these kinds of arrangements, and while it is easier when an org fills your units, you can lose control of maintenance and cleanliness.

Chris seems like a great person that is passionate about helping others take control of their money.

If you had bigger cabins only, definitely not.One thing I would add though is that your returns are somewhat based on your purchase price which you can control. 

This way I can also control the maintenance cap/ex aspect. 

The Left must resist the urge to “help” with short-sighted, counter-productive policies like rent control.

@Isadore Nelson yes, I know someone that recently paid $500k to get a longtime rent controlled tenant out of a Carroll Gardens Brownstone.

@Maria Jeanette Using a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) for real estate investment offers control over asset selection and tax advantages, such as tax-deferred growth (Traditional IRA) or tax-free growth (Roth IRA).

If you're happy with getting a note on ANY house in FL you might have more luck, but then you don't have as much control over the condition of the property or its location if those are important factors to you.
