It helps to try to build rapport with them to show them you're serious, which you may want to work on since you're relatively young and inexperienced.

With that being said, and to be transparent, I have had a harder time finding investing partners on the last property I bought in La Fortuna which I think is related to the change in the economy.  

Quote from @Ben Russell: Although I agree the leases and the legal implications of "Mid-Term" rentals and "long-term" rentals are closly related, I don't think the leases should be identical. 

Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

Doing anything to burnish the reputation of the sick and rotten syndication industry on a public forum that caters to new, unsophisticated investors is disgusting behavior.

Like most service industries, there is nothing more important than the human touch as that is what people relate to and feel comfortable with.

For a relatively "safe" creative financing, one needs serious reserves (lots of moolah) and the ability to sell or refinance quickly when one of those "hiccups" occur.The gurus usually collect a large fee, from people who have neither money, reserves, nor experience.

My HOA pays for everything related to the structure and my cash flow is $200 after HOA dues so I only tend to keep 2 months of rent in reserves per unit + the tenant deposit

Related damages:When tenant took possession, the living room had a vertical blind set apx 70” long (covering two windows.)

In our reviews our lake, pool, size of our house and location relative to everything else gets the most mentions.
