To run an STR here you get a hotel license. 

I have looked up the license of the business with the state and they are in good standing with only small violations in the past (fixed in a timely manner).

MIGHT.For anything else, use the full owner finance scenario: deed, promissory note, deed of trust...Close at a title companyUse an RMLO and loan servicerNo balloon earlier than 60 months (not recommended at all)Sales price = licensed appraisal (MAX). 

(I am also a licensed agent in the same state).

If they are a licensed Contractor in most states that means they have insurance and a bond.

Plus they are all busy doing occupant custom remodels.Flippers and landlords like me have alwyas been forced into being hands on, the crew chief, over handymen and a few licensed trades.

You have to screen the company to verify they hold the appropriate licenses, insurance, etc.

However, if you are an investor involved in multiple cities, you might prefer a lender who is licensed in various locations.

But if this company Tardus was selling these notes and getting comp .. they are going to have issues if they are not licensed RAs or broker dealers..
