Home could've settled and nothing further to do or you could be seeing a bigger issue at hand that the seller needs to fix.

Cabins should cash flow nicely based on my location and research.So.... do I sell the Fl house so I have plenty of cash on hand to do my 6 cabins?

Can the loan be transferred to another buyer if I sell the property before the term ends?

Although D neighborhoods may cash flow on paper, in reality these are more suited to very hands-on local investors.

No pressure here but wanted to be able to offer a hand since I'm local to Lane County.

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

Otherwise, the owner has to own the listing for the rents to be deposited into their account, and then you can't connect the listing to the software which just tied your hands.

That said, it could be a good choice if you’re capital constrained and need to recycle equity from deal to deal.However, if you have capital to deploy and want to take a more hands-off approach, targeting a turnkey, rent-ready offering could be a better approach for your first deal.Full disclosure: I own rentals and operate a turnkey provider in Tuscaloosa—let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you!

.: Emotionally..... pay off your primary.Financially..... use the $$ to buy assets that make you $$...hands down a smarter use of your capital Especially if your interest rate is well below what the current rates have been. 

The oil company now owns the subsurface rights to that property (one of the property's appurtenances) and can transfer or keep them as they wish.
