Hey John, I’m going to give you a bit of a different answer here, beyond the usual high-level stuff, I think your question goes deeper than something that can just be answered in broad strokes.

Quote from @John Federic: The deal looks interesting...Wow thank you!

Quote from @John Mason: Is PadSplit an option? 

Quote from @John Underwood: Quote from @James Carlson: Quote from @Koren Lavi: Quote from @James Carlson: My LTR income has provided the cashflow to quit my job as an electrical engineer.  

I am looking for some coaching/mentoring from an advanced imvestor that might be able to look through my portfolio with a different lens and give some advice on next steps.

10% is probably a little steep, and like John said, a flat fee may be more reasonable.Setting up a proper STR is not cheap, but once you are set up properly, you deal with routine breakage.I recommend managing yourself and saving the 20% personally, getting a rockstar cleaning team and a reliable handy person, using something like Hospitable that can help automate messaging when listing, and reading the book from the bookstore here called Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth.

@Tracy YenWhen I was faced with the same options you have, I went and hired a life coach.

@Dennis SmithWe know of 4 major and consistent content-producers in this space:Al Williamson - Offers a course, ongoing coaching, monthly group meetings, been a landlord a long time, we took his course in 2020 at a discounted rate--our view it was worth every penny; Based in Northern CA Jesse Vasquez - Great YouTube content, unique takes, often wears his hat on backwards during his videos; Based in CAKellie Michelle - Great YouTube content, clear and concise, Based in smaller midwest cityErin Spradin - Wrote a book, good YouTube content, Unsure where she is basedMy sense is that Al has been at it the longest, but they all seem good to me, though we've only taken Al's course.

Quote from @John Kaftan: Looking at buying a house that had maybe 50 cats in it so it reeks of cat urine. 

Quote from @John Underwood: Absolutely.
