@Luke TamezIn theory, you could split off the 10 pads legally, through a lot split, but the issues would compound.  

Now, there are other ways to structure the purchase of a short-term rental to include the cost of the furniture without buying outside of the contract, but in the end, there's just not a lot of value in a turnkey vacation rental without the reviews.

You’ve gotten a great response from Alan already, and honestly, I’d say a lot of the same things.Since you’re going into the Air Force, take advantage of the benefits you have right now.

There are a lot of service providers here that can be mentors for you without charging you money and are invested in your success.

I have been running a lot of subject-to and wrap deals in Florida for years, but I’m curious how everyone’s making them work right now, what seller terms are actually landing in 2025, any creative clauses or setups that are closing, and how you’re keeping the due-on-sale dragon asleep, just looking to hear what’s working (or flopping) in other markets.

Long story short the day my tenants paid the bulk of the mortgage we did a lot more fun activities like vacation/ traveling  that was a large part do to the fact my wife and I were not dependent on working 40 hours per week to pay a mortgage.  

Quote from @Ashish Acharya: @Adam Ashley, Great answers so far, and yeah, totally fair question, the Bay Area is one of the hardest places to make traditional BRRRR numbers work.From a tax angle, a lot of investors here pivot their strategy instead of walking away from the market entirely.

We've used cash for keys a lot, but it only works if the tenant will talk to you long enough to sort out what they most need that you can help with and negotiate.Agree proceeding with eviction is your only option, but you can concurrently work on cash for keys or post a notice of abandonment potentially if they are non-communicative. 

I'm assuming John has done a lot of transactions and is capable of representing himself as well or better than a typical buyer's agent could.

I pass up on a lot of deals.
