The benefit is that you can take control of the rental while still allowing them to retrieve their belongings.

But I invest here, too and own several rentals.

I have two local rentals that cash flow nicely, but all that profit is thrown towards this house so I'm completely negative. 

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

Hello all,Has anyone sold a short term rental owned over a year  as a non real estate professional that qualified as short term capital gains tax deductions with expenses and depreciation?

The rental market has slowed in recent months but expected in winter.

It hurts the tenants ability to find another rental, nobody wins, and it takes forever costing you money. 

Does anyone have any experience with furnished mid term rentals?

So yes, you can fix and flip, or hold as a rental, or whatever.

Research local rental demand, especially from military and university tenants, and consider balancing your portfolio with single-family and multi-family homes.
