If you're talking about your parents retirement money, I would go the safest route possible and divide that money between a few different experienced operators syndications / funds. That way you tap into decades of experience, and some diversification across deals.

I am creating a course on RV parking investing (glamping, destination parks, extended stay parks, and development). What sort of info / resources would be most beneficial?

I am looking for a leasing agent to help lease a turnkey restaurant as well as some industrial land near Flagstaff AZ. Anyone have any good recommendations? 

Yeah I'm mainly just interested in the actual website creation service. I assume I'll need to place a Guesty or Vacasa on top as the actual property manager. I could pay a regular marketing firm to build a site, but since so many STR owners have this need, I have to imagine there's an off the shelf option rather than having a custom site built.

I am building a 12 unit glamping resort and want to setup a direct booking website. Does anyone have recommendations or good experience with a company that handles this?

Hire an attorney to handle evictions. It may cost a bit but it will avoid headaches and gray areas.

I honestly don't think this is a bad thing for the industry. Commission rates will become more efficient. It will certainly be a negative impact on real estate agents income levels.

Invest for the long term. Short term appreciation shouldn't matter. For the newbie investors, buy something that cash flows and plan to hold it for as long as possible. I think we can all reasonably assume that property values in 5, 10, 20 years will be substantially higher than they are now. As long as there's cash flow, then you'll be able to hold it that long and everything will work out. 

Hemlane is a great service that can cut down a huge amount of management tasks. If you task a VA with managing Hemlane then you'll have a pretty automated system at a fraction of the cost
