Hey Aaron - that's so exciting and love that you're pursuing the fix and flip strategy.

Pretty much the core of the STR business.Higher your rank gets, you can increase your price and be more picky in selecting customers which usually lead to a better review / less party or complaints / less expense and higher profit with a happy life.I know some people will argue, but the ranking system is the truth and should be the only guide to your STR journey. 

I know that if I did pursue eviction with one weed smoker, that a new tenant could be a weed smoker as well and I'd be fighting a never ending battle. . . because I nor you, would know if a tenant is a weed smoker until they move into the unit.  

These are big money plays life changing profits but RISK you bet..

So I call many "Deferred Specialist" and they finally advise me to do 1031 instead because if the LTV is not less than 50% and the sales proceed are not large enough -- it's not profitable for them to work to manage the Deferred Sales Trust AUM. 

The best advice is don't buy in any area that prohibits STRs or makes operating them so onerous that you're unlikely to make any profit.

Selim, first of all, congratulations on a profitable flip!

My vision includes developing the land into a destination with features like driveways, walking paths, utilities, and unique lodging structures.Here’s my tentative plan1.Place the existing STR in an LLC2.Apply for an SBA small business loan to fund the next steps, including a feasibility study (~$10k+), land clearing, and infrastructure development.While this direction excites me, I’m torn between pursuing this venture and continuing with a more traditional approach—buying one home per year using conventional loans.I’d love to hear your thoughts:•Has anyone transitioned from STRs to glamping or similar ventures?

This is very interesting but where is the profit.

Thanks for the thread Anna & Marlo,We are pursuing "Shared Ownership" with a small 4-plex.
