I'm with a broker-dealer based out of Chicago and we have a marketplace for private commercial real estate projects and funds all over the US.Aside from work, I'm into playing sports (primarily soccer), coffee, mezcal (lived in Mexico City for 5 years), and exploring mountains. 

Found out that everything the way it has played out and the details I have dug up on the tenant this is part of a an elaborate scam and includes a circle of people involved.

I’m just trying to play it as safe as possible considering it’s been vacant for so long and I have no idea the condition in which the previous owner left things.  

Yea this is a long-term personal play more than a strict STR deal. 

If someone can get the SEC or another financial division to take notice then that could change the playing field dramatically. 

Do you want to be in a growth play which has higher risk and higher upside?

.: I always play it by ear.

Unless you bought RE a few years ago, created equity via successful BRRRR, flip, or do a combination you're just playing the appreciation game.
