Given that, I love to hear from you if you had any experience in this space, and what is your recommendation...

Depending on the amount that is offset it could be beneficial even if the property has a low cash flow. 

@Glenn Gruschow, Did you end up investing in STR, can you share your experience either way.

After selling the property for $285,000, we split the profits 50/50 with our partner, Jamie Munden, demonstrating our commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships and successful real estate investments.

Yes I made sure they were an arborist, had full insurance and they had 35 years of experience.

Plus the added tax benefits to support my current situation ($120k a year as a "single" person with "0" dependents Uncle Sam definitely gets his cut) A home my family and I could use in the off seasons on vacation plus creating a unique experience with lifelong memories for our guests sounds great to me, regardless of whether it cash flows.

We were very disappointed in our experience with Auben Realty.

In my experience, partials work better with performing notes, and joint ventures work better with NPLs.

Curious if anyone here:*Has experience with flipping land lots and has any general or specific advice for me?

That's a bummer you had this experience with a seller although it is not uncommon.
