This means that the bulk of the expenses are not going up annually.In addition, if OO you get to write off the property tax and interest to the SALT limit ($10K).

Did AI write this post?

Your lease probably specifies the residents must comply with "quiet enjoyment" of the property. 

Not only is it a profitable investment, but it’s also a place my family can enjoy for years to come.

Let the tenant know this in writing and if you need to, also speak with them, but always in writing first in these situations. 

Curious if anyone else is using AI for real estate marketing—whether for video, staging, or even writing listing descriptions.

Everything else is manual (email, writing checks from the bank, ect).Also open to any suggestions if you are using something that you think would fit these needs.Thank you in advance!

The first thing I want to point out is that it may be wise, in your thinking, to separate the property itself from the STR business that's being run from the property.In the old days (as recent as 10 years ago), people buy a vacation home to enjoy, and they leave it empty when not in use. 

You didn't write how much 'sweat equity' you put into this place, but it was likely well worth it given the $400K cash out.
