Winter normally isn't the best time to sell as the market is slower. 

We normally did land contract buy backs with the occupant. 

Don't be normal because normal is boring and easy and not how you make money in real estate.

Located in enfield 1 issue that i do see coming up is taxes i from MA and now in Ct and used to a normal w2 tax return i would really like to find a cpa or investor friendly tax pro to kinda go over how everything work to make informed decisions and threads or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

An STR is very similar to normal rentals.

Is it normal to not meet your cleaner? 

Except for the vehicle of a delaware statutory trust (which are not normally thought of as syndications) you must be a tenant in common with the LP or LLC that is doing the syndication. 

In TN is it normal for seller to pay title search and buyer to pay for policy?

You likely won't see the money, but it should be a wake up call to them.

@Ralph Ace  When I was practicing in Mass and Maine, the guidance was that the report was the property of the person who paid for it - normally the buyer.Other parties could ask for it, but it would be standard practice to ask them to pay for it.That said, the seller would be required to disclose any defects that were uncovered in the inspection.
