A plan based on property appreciation is very different from one based on cash flow, and is executed differently.

No penalty to let project die slow death and collect salary, travel and advertising money from it.This is data, everyone should make their own data driven decision based on it.

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!

You time leverage, knowledge leverage, experience leverage, execution leverage, better known as hiring the best. 

I'm relieved I have a lawyer, he suggested the lien in this situation because they were being uncooperative down to providing us with a recent fully executed copy of the lease with updated contact info for the tenant. 

You're going to have cancelations because nobody OOS can safely travel.

However when their use is not properly executed you lose most of its benefit as the front loaded costs were charged no matter what.Some people don’t have the proper mindset to stay on course for many years and should stay away from them as it takes almost a decade of careful execution to start benefiting from their powerful benefits.I hate people in these forum dealing in absolute.

Mold spores travel through the air you know and im scared to bring any of my things to another apartment.  

When I was traveling in Europe, Airbnb's often included a bottle of wine.

I don't house hack in S.F. but one suggestion an investor had for me was to do one of the units as an MTR (I was thinking travel nurses but now I'm hearing that they aren't getting that great COVID pay but people displaced temporarily for insurance reasons, moving for some other reason).
