Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

I've never seen such a mismanaged business.

It’s online only but purpose built for business owners and they have automation for those applying the Profit First cash management system.

If you drop business and work you can bounce back.  

In fact, approximately 40% of our business involves the Section 8 program.40%...

Was the business credit enough to put towards a deal? 

If so they may have a real estate license or they may work with an agent that relies on repeat business rather than a one-off purchase. 

I see why they say, never go into business with family.

I'll use these next 20+ years to not only evaluate Real Estate, but other income sources (businesses) to see if I can find something.
