Well done! 

IMO, I’d hold to it and let it keep doing its job. If you already have that much equity unit, it’s only going to grow even more in the next 5-7 years

This can also be avoided when you are working in advance to fill months vs trying to slash your rates and fill at the last minute

Quote from @Michael Baum:

So I am not very familiar with PadSplit @Najhae Robinson.

All I know is the neighborhood backlash, the nightmare stories and the like.

I have heard nothing positive about it.

Oftentimes they violate the STR restrictions in cities because they will rent to anyone for any length of time.

I would never look at this as a business model personally.

I agree. I have never heard anything positive  about it either

This makes my brain hurt. 

I would talk to your cpa and see what you need to have in STR dates

As everyone else has said, depends on the location. 

This can be done. You need a PMS and you’ll make a listing for each unit and then a joined unit and cross all your iCals together 


personally I’m not a fan of this. Either rent it as 1 unit or 2 units. Don’t combine them

Managing from afar can be daunting. I would check out BP’s book wrote by Avery Carl : Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth. 

It is truly a guide that teaches you ALL the things.

I’d do two things:
