Advice from Pros please

Some background on me and my current financial situation:

Located in Southern California (Beach City)
Just turned 48 years old. Never married no kids.
Own 2 properties free and clear: Primary residence valued at $1.25 million; since Covid I’ve rented it a total of about 90 days for extra cash (14k).

2nd home(condo) and rented out through AirBnB since 2014 is worth $600-650k. Consistently grossed $55k-60k every year until Covid. 

FICO at 780-800.

Have about $7K cash in the bank and another $100K in assets (cars and motorcycles paid). About $2K in stocks w eTrade since 2008. 

Truck loan at $29K

8K in CC debt that was just moved to a 0% interest free card for 18 months.

Yearly property taxes at $14K. Condo HOA $490/ month.

My basic financial picture right there. I live off of my rental, and a few side gigs selling vehicles etc. Not living on the high horse.

Don’t qualify for a cash out refi even since my AGI isn’t there. 

Thinking about selling the condo (bought it in 2011 for $265k/ now at $600-650k). Prolly not smart since I’m getting 50-60k a year from it.

Obviously, some major tax implications w selling a rental property. Anyway to defer/ avoid that?

Not looking to stay in Cali much longer. Hate living AirBnB check -check, and would love to have some cash in hand to improve my primary residence ($30-50k).

Basically house rich cash poor. Great FICO and disciplined.

what would you do in my shoes? I spend quite a bit of time in Mexico and have a house there (rented for $500/month) would go for $2500 in CA.

Not a great financial planner... looking for options of what to do.


Thanks!
