Does anyone have sample contracts or recommendations for what to include in a group vacation rental operating agreement?

If you really want to wholesale, you really need to find off market deals, that is the area in which the successful operate.

That assumption has been made explicit to me more often by black Pittsburghers than white Pittsburghers here, by the way.In our third year of operation, Homeland Security and the IRS subpoenaed us and we had a very uncomfortable conversation down at the federal courthouse.

Compensate them correctly and if they are a small 1 or 2 person operation give them some ownership "make them feel they are part of the team", they will help you scale.

So to echo what you said, I'm referring to the ability to 1031 from one syndication into the next, with the same operator.

Operate ethically and don't lock up a property to get the feeling of wholesaling. 

The property owes 60k in taxes and the LLC looks like it has not been operating since 2012 according to the records.I mailed letters to the main address of the owners, the vacant property itself, and the address of the LLC, and all were returned in sender.Its a good investment property in my area.Maybe I should try Facebook, and LinkedIn.

I watched a lot of videos, read books, studied anything I could but what really rocketed my learning was working under a fulltime wholesale with a decently big operation. 

Be as detailed and specific as possible when mentioning your future plans, current operation/experience level, ongoing projects, etc.

Again, this is a subject of its own, but can be distilled down to: The Project that has the best financial performance and entitled (permitted and operated) that best meets market reality (demand).
