I since then transitioned to real estate and bought a ton of properties here in Columbus and have a team that actively does BRRRR's/Flips. 

The only multis we do this for are MTRs that are furnished as the folks are there for transitional times/work, not for a LTR as it would be better to just lower the rent and not have the headache. 

You will probably see homeowners move into the area and prices for these go up as it "transitions".But I'm not a fan of buying new construction properties anyway.

I'm a corporate employee and it's time to transition so that I can retire from W2.  

If I already own an Airbnb property (my primary residence) and plan to purchase a new house for rental purposes, what would be the recommended approach for transitioning the existing property into an LLC?

However, if you are in a neighborhood that is quickly transitioning and what is a $40k home today is going to likely be worth $100k+ in 5 years, does this change anything?...

The most sophisticated professionals always go through a transition from buying generic property lists to creating their own playbooks from raw data sources.

It sounds like the main concerns are noise tenants and small space, which coming from a SFH that can be quite a stark transition. 

While I am happy with this purchase overall, I am no longer focused on investing in ocean city due to transitioning away from condos.

I'm paying neither up-front commission (my brokers get paid by the DST management) nor ongoing commissions.That seems like a pretty good transitional investment to me.
