Without an agreement: the Buyer is your customer and the seller becomes your client because they are the one paying the commission. 

I've looked into Guesty (which seems too expensive for what I hear to be awful customer service), Hostaway, Owner Rez, and Lodgify.

And then when the distributions got paused tell the same customers, who really needed those funds for retirement, they were being short-sighted to focus on de minimis cash flow and should wait for the real money to come in via appreciation?

These are very personal decisions.I can't tell you how many times I had a seller pay me to go in and redo kitchens and baths, and then get called back by the new buyer to redo the brand new custom work....just because of color.I would just put the house on the market and price it a little high, maybe $20k...?

@Sarah Kensinger Good idea on narrowing down my ideal guest/customer like the book The Pumpkin Plan talks about.

Some people want cash-flow from day 1, some people want to invest long term, some medium term... all different strategies that would require a custom tailored approach. 

But the buyer wants the property at zero down.First leg:-- Buyer secures a loan (1st position) for $350K and sends to title company (this is the amount needed to pay off sellers loan + their required cash at close)-- Buyer also sends $650K cash to the title company (can put in your own cash, or do a temp loan from a transactional lender)-- First leg of txn is now complete, and the $1M stays at the title company (this is bc you customized escrow instructions upfront to instruct them how to disperse money before escrow began)Second leg:-- Buyer and Seller enter into an agreement through an LLC which allows them both to be on title, and seller agrees to seller finance the buyer $650K of the purchase price (on whatever terms they agreed on).

@Corey DuranI have a few customers with 15-20 rentals who will put 3 properties per LLC.
