Your journey into short-term rentals sounds like an exciting shift—I can feel your energy for taking on a new challenge. 

My first question is do I pick a good, better, best system that costs from less to more $$ and do I justify the more expensive energy efficient system to grab a little higher rents since tenants will save money.

Plus, you’re close to paying it off, and owning it free and clear in a few years would only boost your returns.

It keeps your asset, but rising costs and no property management may stretch your time and energy.1031 Exchange into WA: If local management and long-term appreciation in WA fit your goals, this could work.

Will look to refi next year and get all our cash back (have 1 year left on generous seller financing)Failure: still battling a tenant eviction industrial property, costing me money (I can afford) but time and my energy (not a great use)A ha moment: just to focus on higher equity slugs into fewer deals, the law firm is #1 for me2025 goal: complete exit, closing Jan 9, keep making offers, grow the law firm with less billables

I don't have the time or energy to file a complaint with the credit bureaus and my score is still over 800 so I'm moving on.

What I do have is relentless energy, focus, and the drive to succeed in real estate.I’m diving headfirst into multi-family and commercial real estate because I know this is where true wealth is built.

Plus there's sports there to continue to boost the area.

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

Are you planning to hold as-is and focus on cash flow, or do you have a strategy for infill, increasing rents, or improving park infrastructure to boost value?
