If you do not find success there, there are some online companies like SpaceJoy, Decorilla, Havenly etc.

I know the tax hit isn’t ideal, but I’m wondering if the long-term cash flow benefits outweigh the opportunity cost.

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

my primary investment goal is long term appreciation and wealth accumulation.Looking forward to connecting.Best,Nish  

What loan terms are they underwriting?

I saw how that proposal is basically her giving me a 0% loan, but at the same time I believe that structure will avoid her taking a large loss (approximately 30k if she accepts a 300k offer).I do not know why she doesnt get a PM, I only share the facts of when she purchased it, the purchase price, and the reasoning she shared with my realtor as to why she is selling after such a short time period.

So I had a solid enough down payment that I thought, why not go out of state where it's cheaper, where I have friends who've been successful and can get more bang for my buck?

I want to keep away from any short cuts , I am not looking to take large cuts from sellers (I’m a true agent at heart and looking to serve my clients) .

There are good relations with the neighbor so this likely wouldn't be terribly difficult to pull off, but I haven't ever developed a property from scratch so I would definitely like the opportunity to partner with someone on this to help ensure the success but first I want to finish the smaller property to have sufficient funding available if it is needed.

I left PPR back in 2019 and shortly after co-founded GSP REI, where I've been since.
