Hi all — My wife Ashley and I are exploring purchasing a turnkey, already-operating short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) before year-end.Target budget: <=$300,000Preferred markets: Tyler, TX or Little Rock AreaMust-have criteria:• At least 12 months historic payout data (Airbnb/VRBO)• Furnishings included or negotiable (already in operation)• STR legal / permitted (HOA or city OK)• Good guest-review profile (4.7+), low guest-drama neighborhood (we’d stay there ourselves)• Timeline: Clean close, turnkey transition, quick start.We’re not just dreaming — we’re ready to move quickly if the right property shows up.

No one will care about star wars rooms if the host is MIA when the guest can't get the Internet working or the AC goes out and it takes 3 days for the tech to show up to fix it (in Ryan's case he's obviously mastered both as you can see from his pics and his reviews).4.

@Elton John - I'd go to Star Hardware in Hartford and ask them who buys a lot of windows from them and see if they can give you a phone number.  

We have done reg d 506b, reg d 506c and reg a+ offeringsI would not do a 506b again but definitely a time and place506c allows for general solicititation and accredited investors and is where most goreg a+ allows for non accredited investors but has much higher cost structure - would only do it if raising $25M or more and you must have a robust team (cannot do it alone like a 506c) as you need someone to deal with non accredited investors questions as well as a rockstar accountant to do audited financials - outsourcing it can be nightmare. 

Some of the ways would be to pave the driveway right now it’s just rock Dirt, etc.

The landscaping company broke the sliding glass door to one of my condo units because a rock was ejected from the mower.

Hey @Lars Hartvig Kristiansen, in my experience, your best team comes from one rock-solid connection, not trying to build everything at once.

They have 4.8 stars out of almost 1000 reviews, and the BBB gives them an A+ rating but they require 4 to 6 thousand dollars up front to work with them.

This can work when you have partners that you trust and a rock solid Operating Agreement. 

We have professional photos, dynamic pricing, an optimized listing, I have 32 reviews (all 5 stars), I'm in the top 5% of homes according to Airbnb,  etc. etc.
