You have a lot of valuable assets, thanks for highlighting that.

Food was everywhere, pots and pans just coated with burnt stuff..

Seems like we're the one group who's expected to directly foot the bill for necessities -- I don't see politicians forcing grocery stores or farms to provide free food to those who lost their job in the pandemic.

@Charese Allen @Anna Laud As Taylor alluded to, there are specific SEC regulations even for cases like this (where you are trying to do a friends & family pooling of funds), so I wanted to highlight that contacting a lawyer is the way to go and make sure to rely on a lawyer's guidance / advice rather than anything I previously mentioned.

I am speaking of something known as "residential assisted living", a step between a retirement community and a nursing home, where senior get help with their ADL's (activities of daily living, i.e. food, laudry, etc.), all done in a house equipped for them. 

Obviously, there are important things like making sure you have food, can pay your utilities, your apartment/home, and gas these 4 things.

Therefor, if you can't hit a homerun with today's prices I would rather hold onto my money and wait for a sure-thing vs. wanting to earn less per hour for my time than I can earn wiping tables ad a fast food establishment.

Even though you list all the great things that your STR has to offer I would still word the highlights in an alluring paragraph or two that tantalizes the interest of potential guests. 

The cost for electricity probably does not exceed the cost for a hamburger at a fast-food and the cost for a timer or motion control switch probably costs several years of what it costs to keep one bulb on 24/7 for an entire year.A few weeks ago, we changed 80 15-watt Exit Sign light bulbs that are required to stay on 24/7 at one apartment building and the cost for electric is very insignificant.The most-expensive thing our tenants waste is 'water'.

The typical clients that seek out cost segregation studies include:Real estate companies that buy and sell multiple properties each year.Individuals with a portfolio containing investment properties including apartment buildings, multi-family homes and even single residences.Franchise owners with properties that are similar to one another such as assisted living facilities, storage facilities and golf courses.Business owners of hotels, food facilities, shopping centers, restaurants or manufacturing plants.It depends on the type of property, but generally 15-45% of the building’s costs can be classified into assets with a shorter life.
