I am inclined to believe this is the chief complaint and they either have another option or underestimated their ability to adjust to a rental. 

Get you ducks in a row before committing.Also, not an expert in that area, but I cannot believe that a cabin double the size will do the same revenue. 

There still is a lot left to do, but I believe I am adding a ton of value for the future.

I start by telling them we have a lot of money tied up in the property, and we've been burned by folks that wanted us to believe the best of them.

We always like to believe they wouldnt do that, but believe me, it happens, even when you dont expect it.

I saw how that proposal is basically her giving me a 0% loan, but at the same time I believe that structure will avoid her taking a large loss (approximately 30k if she accepts a 300k offer).I do not know why she doesnt get a PM, I only share the facts of when she purchased it, the purchase price, and the reasoning she shared with my realtor as to why she is selling after such a short time period.

I believe in putting in the work—1,000 hours of research, testing, and learning—before offering advice, and I’m excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community to refine my approach.Here’s where my head is at: I’m considering strategies like short-term rentals (Airbnb) for higher cash flow, long-term rentals for steady income, or even creative options like house hacking or partnerships to stretch the funds further.

I believe furnished finder is the way to go as it seems like the majority are looking on that website.

I found a PM called Hostex.io for the STR so far so good I could not believe the very low annual fee which was less than $90 a year.

BTW, I could have mentioned earlier, when we refi'd in 2022 the appraiser came in at 1,300,000 and verbally told me that he struggled as he believed the property was likely worth more based on the location, views, income.
