Keep in mind your individual goals determine what a good and bad deal are. 

@Gary Wildey There are numerous factors, and a huge one I would echo is what @Michael Dumler mentioned: if you don't have a team in ANY market (whether in market or OOS), it can add another level of difficult to your investment.  

I am looking to make some connections and/or get some feedback from individuals that have STR's along the coast. 1.

There were some immediate capex upgrades and there are also annual capex upgrades budgeted for, this will also correlate to updating individual unit rents to near market values.  

💰Role of an InvestorThe limited partner, or investor, is the individual (or group of individuals) that provides the equity to fund the deal.

These firms don't usually post the individual's contact info from what I've seen...

It's exponentially easier to manage a 30 unit property than 30 individual properties. 

If one goes bankrupt, it may take all the others with it.You may not need an LLC for each individual property, but each LLC you do have should have its own bank account and books, and should behave as its own completely separate entity.

Not properties (individually). 

If all units are under one ownership it’s usually referred to as apartments, not condos. condos are usually individually owned. that said, what questions do you have?
