This is what happen when an inexperienced landlord try to be transparent and take their business as a job.

I think you will definitely want to talk to your lawyer because there may be items linked to this transaction you are not considering. 

Its not personal, its business. 

I am currently a junior business marketing major with a concentration in professional sales at Samford University.

I see you've had the property on the market for a while, which must be frustrating, but what will it take to put a transaction together?

Their entire business plan is wait a few days to come out, charge  deductible, go back to the office to order a part or two that will come in a day or two.

I'm considering buying a house in nearby Palm Coast as I travel there for business.

You really shouldn’t be running your business on a stranger googling answers for you but…the google says:  Depending on the rental agreement, Georgia landlords typically must provide a 60-day notice for lease renewals or terminations, while tenants generally need to give only a 30-day notice for lease termination.Jan 18, 2024If a new lease is not signed, and the landlord continues to accept monthly rent, the terms of the original lease still apply, except the landlord is required to give sixty (60) days' notice before she can terminate the lease or change the terms, and you (the tenant) are required to give thirty (30) days' notice before leaving.So you can’t non-renew until the end of April and you can’t even increase the rent until then.

i noticed though that the strategies you proposed are very different... an STR is a hospitality business and syndication is (in theory) at least somewhat passive.my main tip in getting started is not to rush into anything. 

It's running a business NOT renting a house.
