Hard Rock Hotel (Downtown San Diego) has offered investment ownership opportunities for certain rooms within their establishment... has anybody had experience with this or horror stories of such investments?

I appreciate all the insight and for the most part I do agree with you all on this being the typical experience with STR's.

I don’t have any experience with investment properties any advise will be highly appreciated Thank you !! 

Does anyone have experience developing residential communities with prefab/modular homes (not mobile homes) or know someone who does?

I would be happy to talk or meet-up to talk about our experience.

You can of course do it yourself, but I think hiring expertise who has lots of experience talking to the appraisers, working for other investors, and potentially going in front of the board and potentially arbitrators is probably money well spent.

We have over 5 years of experience owning and renting long term and recently short term as well.

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I've been traveling the last few weeks, but in case what Basit posted was unclear you report 2023 losses on your 2023 tax return. 2024 next year.
