In the end the questions were geared towards encouraging me to:  1. eliminate my separate cleaning fee and include it in the nightly price, or 2. lower my cleaning fee to get more bookings. 

You didn't invest in a syndication or fund if you put money into two separate short-term rentals.

I would let this one go to foreclosure, ouch, and be able to hold onto my Texas property, but now they are connected and I can't separate the assets.)So, that's the story, I hope someone can help me, I feel like I am spinning circles in the endless tornado of hell.   

The starting point is knowing what emotional drivers (desires, fears, hopes) lead people to spend money on a unit such as yours.

Is there a way to separate from them legally without getting a lawyer involved? 

You can have your own separate space with a side by side or up/down duplex. 

@Michael SmytheLet go of it (the house) emotionally.

Tax considerations and emotional attachment should be considered.

I am capable of dealing with the IA, but sometimes it is better to have an independent eye without the emotional investment.

Are they separately metered for utilities, or can you bill back to residents?
