I have had customers come to me and say "Hey, ole so and so says he can do it for this much." 

BTW, this is my review not a regurgitation of some advertisement from them.So the question is, until I can get a good and reliable team of people in place that can execute the deals for me, Would a low purchase price turn-key property in a Class-A neighborhood that cash flows $150-$200 with lower CAPX, Vacancy, and MX costs really be such a bad idea?

@Dean SmithIn determining whether short term real estate rental income is treated as business income, here are general considerations (of course you will want to review your specific situation with your tax advisor): The average period of customer use is 7 days or less.The average period of customer use is 30 days or less and significant personal services are provided with the rental.

The Conclusion:  Because we were able to find that document and review the definition of a service dog, we were able to show the tenants that because their puppy was not yet trained to "provide a task directly related to the person's disability" the dog was still a pet, not a service dog. 

We have enough equity between 3 properties (one listed) to put 50% down in theory, but they review offers in a week and it will 100% sell.Are there any creative loan options to tap into equity and future sales to make this happen?

Review their management agreement.

In our first few months as STR owners/managers, we've found that people REALLY like what we're doing with our log cabin and they are highly satisfied and giving five star reviews online. 

While my operating agreements for clients are custom-made, I do not have the tax background to incorporate all of the tax code citations and rule regulations that are pertinent to real estate investors, which are included in Bill Noll's LLC operating agreement. 

He didn't like me asking because he responded that maybe this deal should go to someone else.My next email was to offer his full asking but only with a few contingencies: $2500 EMD directly to the Title Company and I get 24 hours to review HOA bylaws.

I found the appendices nice to review as well @ http://www.crushingit.info/appendices.html
