Hi Matt, didnt take that negatively at all. I listed it with a realtor that told me the price to list it, unfortunately i have to follow up about whats going on. bought and sold a few properties and never had the disconnect of knowing whats going on.  i got a long way to go before i would even break even from the list price. part of me wants to keep (as my kids love the area) but the other part feels like dropping price to move on to a different asset. 

i appreciate everyones comments. thank you

Quote from @Matt Castle:

Not trying to be a jerk with this comment, but the short answer is this: 

4 months on the market and no offers, the market is telling you plenty, you just have to be willing to listen. 

I work this market so I know how different it is from 2021 vs 2023, but good properties still go incredibly fast with multiple offers if/when the price is right.

new to the bigger pockets community. I purchased my second short term rental in 2021 in the Gatlinburg area, initially when i purchased numbers looked great and property started renting out immediately and was consistent for all of 2021. 2022 i started to get overwhelmed with guest comments or complaints and ended up putting it with a property management company. Shorter version, I ended up getting frustrated so I listed the property for sale. Its been 4 months and no bites. My question would be for the group, would you suggest dropping the price and get rid of the property? use the profit and cash for a different investment strategy, Or my other thought would be to go in, rehab it, spruce it up and take over management again. Personally think if the property was fixed up and modernized, it would limit complaints and issues, but not sure. Any advise would be appreciated.
