landscape this year has given me the opportunity to really pause and look at my portfolios performance.   

I on the other hand am begging for him to try a cpa since there’s alot of new concepts with maintence vs improvements etc for tax purposes.

Many investors will do a duplex, make one side a long term rental while the other side performs as a short term rental. 

If the tenant makes sense, the rent is there, and it all works for the particular property, I'll go with S8.But I'm not the type to turn down a well qualified cash paying tenant simply because I only want S8.

1) Rarely paying asking price or even "market price" for a property.2) Understanding how they may be able to reposition a poorly managed property for increased cashflow and value.3) Looking for creative financing, so they don't have to deal with a bank for a purchase loan.4) Understanding ROI, Cash-on-Cash, NOI, etc. and using those numbers to determine HOW MUCH they should offer on a property to meet their taget performance numbers.Funny, appropriate, recent interaction with a plumbing company.

Next you want to form an LLC that will serve as the management company for your LLC and perform duties including rent collections and sign all contracts on behalf of the business.

You can go after that.c) What does the Contract that you signed for the project have to say about 'Non-Performance'?

Hello @Tyler Bailey,The decision to sell depends on how the property has performed in relation to the requirements for an income enabling financial freedom.

Would love to know who else in this post owns a STR in north GA and how they are performing. 

So the performance here is really on me.Based on the opinions and realization I’m now leaning towards a middle of the road approach - keeping the SoCal room rental house, get that to market rates (~6% ROE) and 1031 the mountain houses.
