@Steve K.As an investor who buys loans I can share your frustration with servicing companies.

I had enough food to get by.And I had to deal with a worldwide pandemic slowing down the economy when it came time to list my house.But life has a great way of balancing out the good and bad.

@Jeff Nash would be a great resource to speak with on companies/investments to offset your W2.

It is great to see what your company is doing in the Milwaukee market!

-Booking.com is a very large and established company that has been around much longer than airbnb and vrboCons:-more listings to make sure are all staying maintained assuming you are also on airbnb and vrbo-you have to pay them their commission back at the end of each month which is a pain in the a** and is an unnecessary extra step-payouts can take longer as you mentioned-it has been impossible for me to find anyway to contact customer service over the phone and instead you have to refer to their forums and FAQs for any answers you need.Hope you found this helpful.

If you are able to actively use the funds I would say start a real estate marketing company with it. 

I am not sure how active his company Open Door is on BP.

I own a mortgage company now that does both residential and commercial finance, but I spent years as a commercial banker with both big banks (First Union/Wachovia) and 2 community banks.

Their return is better than most note companies.
