I definitely think my STR exists in another stratosphere relative to my overall experience on the platform as a guest.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

I like that it encouraged on time payments to receive credit, but it turned into a tracking nightmare quickly.

Less control, and you will learn less about managing/investing.Next, I would strongly encourage is a house-hack of a multi-family. 

Everyone seems to have a slightly different mechanism of calculating the splits, so I would reach out to them and see if they can walk you through the calculation.We use an investor management platform that calculates the splits (to the penny), keeps an audit trail, tracks accrued distributions (if you are doing development or heavy value add), etc.

Also, if you want to take a deep dive into building a team from a distance, I encourage you to read David Greene's "Long‑Distance Real Estate Investing".

Search any platform (Facebook, Zillow, Instagram, ect) and you can read her reviews. 

I got LeadSherpa, a texting platform that is in fact TCPA compliant (therefore not illegal, as that was my major concern when jumping in), and started hammering away.

To all investors, I encourage you to create a detailed financial analysis on a spreadsheet with all expenses. 

Have you seen how complicated the facebook marketing platform is?
