It has 5 years left of fixed debt remaining, which makes me feel okay about it.

Or am I mixing things here?

I've gotten mixed feedback from Lawyers and Lenders 

I've read mixed reviews on host experiences with VRBO and Booking.com, so I've been hesistant to list there.Currently, using PriceLabs and tweaking/ analyzing pricing a few times a week.Honestly, my photos are not the greatest yet, but it is a high priority for me to get professional photos soon.

It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.

I have a mixed bag of renters: some use no assistance, some are section 8 and some are non section 8 but have used some housing program assistance (such as deposit + 1st month of rent).

It feels like now we might have this battle won.

Feel free to DM and we'll connet.Thanks!

I would go a step further and say there is a Thought-Cancer in US Society today that people feel there not only entitled to affordability, but that it's focused to and for THERE "affordability".
