I am in Milwaukee, WI and I use the WLB lease format to sign fixed-term yearly leases with my tenants.

The joys of short term rental hosting.

@Robby SanchezI like your long-term thinking and master plan.

Short term, long term, floating vs fixed.

We you are getting paid in arrears it's very hard to front all the money to pay the subs...often times too many projects are taken on ana then Peter is Robbed to pay Paul.My suggestion is to first READ THE CONTRACT, then based on the contract terms give him a VERY CLEAR & SPECIFIC TIMELINE to rectify the work if it isn't done you  MUST move immediately.

Ensure it has enough appeal to be a successful STR (short-term rental) too.

This property is primed for short term rental (night to night) with conservative estimates of ($40,000-$50,000) per month.

Trying to have me spend 25-35k after the workshop under the guise of being a “unique” client they’d like to “develop and mentor” as a long-term partner/client adds a level of slimy. 

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.
