They offered to split the payments so I could pay half now and half in 40 days but still even $4K is a lot for me right now.  

I would like to expend by utilizing investments in my projects and am wondering if sponsering syndications is the way to go and if so how to structure the offering.

In my opinion their data isn't significant for finding deals, but when it comes time to present an offer I don't know where you'd get sufficient data to do so other than CoStar.

Would you send over the offer terms in a seller-financing contract or send over the potential returns for seller based on analysis?

If they have $20K in the bank, that would offer additional reassurances of their financial stability.

Similarly, mountain retreats and ski resorts with increasing popularity for outdoor activities offer strong seasonal STR potential worth considering.

Here's what I would strongly offer apart from many of the other great suggestions made by other team members. 1.

If it's between november - february and you get an offer from an insurance company it maybe worth it than leaving it vacant. you can extra 10-20% and you can blow through some of the cold months so when you do have to find a new tenant, it should be easier and rent should be higher.

I made an offer on the spot!

It’s not perfect but it does offer State by State leases and the ability to collect payments easily.
