Agree , those are all incredibly important as is good property management and the ability to price the property correctly based on your competitors rates( dynamic pricing ) . 

Long story short.. they inflated rent projections, sliced corners on property management, and almost left him holding the bag when the actual numbers came in.Vetting a syndicate means getting cozy with the sponsor’s track record, verifying their underwriting approach, and understanding whether they’ve handled rough waters before.

I would at least start there and good timing to figure out a plan with spring slowly approaching and our busier sales season in WI.  

Reliance on a team a flight away wasn't for me as I was getting started, I am considering bending that approach. 

There're some alternative planning approaches, but they are always case-by-case.  

Hey Trevor,Man, this situation sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’ve clearly done your due diligence on this property.

For average investors without large amounts of capital to deploy this is a common approach to growing a portfolio.

That kind of restriction just doesn’t work for someone like me.I’m trying to figure out if I might be missing something in how I’m approaching this or if others have insights or examples of towns that not only allow STRs but also have laws that offer enough flexibility to operate in the way I’m aiming for.Many towns technically permit STRs but impose restrictive rules like membership requirements, ownership duration limits, or rental day caps, making operations challenging.
