Hi Kim, I understand your hesitation, although I don't believe a repair with the pool would be something that could spiral out of control too much.

I haven't personally messed with development, and I have not personally worked with any of the folks I would recommend, but I do know them personally and trust that they would be fair, honest, and work to help you understand your options. 

No requirements to purchase.Not understanding your math - generating only $1900 renting out by room, but $2800 for whole house?

I completely understand!

The seminars are good for vocabulary learning but running crews and understanding the process you have to take the step and just do it. 

I understand that navigating the minimum loan amount restrictions can be tricky, but Chase is known to offer financing solutions that could potentially accommodate lower loan amounts, possibly even down to $50k, which might align well with your investment goals and the price range you're interested in.If you haven't already, reaching out to Chase could provide you with some additional flexibility in your property search, allowing you to stay within your desired price range and maximize your monthly cash flow from the investment.

Most people start by looking up local STR regulations to understand the permit requirements, if any.

That said, a reasonable tenant should understand why you can't just keep it open for them. 

So, if somebody wants to invest with you but can't share in the losses, then they aren't really investors.Once you start "pooling" funds, my understanding is it falls under SEC rules and regulations. 

Therefore they understandably have worst terms.
