Are there any tax benefits from donating this land? 

@Tom HallAt 7% if you can I would pay it down as investing it net after tax gains may not get you the 7% you are paying - so it’s less riskDownside is you lose liquidity of that money as it’s tied in your propertyIf rates come down in future you can refinance and even take some of the cash out.Regarding your question are rates coming down, a lot of factors come into play but right now it does not appear there will be significant changes to rates over next 3-6 months.

Investors can always benefit from working with someone who knows how to align opportunities with specific strategies.Are there particular types of properties or investment strategies you’ve seen gaining traction in the Seattle area lately?

For additional context, here’s a snapshot of our financial situation:We’re paying the mortgage on our primary residence.We have one car with ongoing payments.I anticipate it could take up to three months to find a new job.I’ve already applied for unemployment benefits (in PA) and am waiting for approval.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or insights.

Our dollar is losing value so you need to be with a solid operator in institutional assets that cashflow in markets while hedging inflation with tax benefits. 

We do not factor in capital gains tax in our final net profit projection Hope that helps!  

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

I think that is very reasonable move for matured owners like you but I don’t think it benefits most new hosts who should really focus on the ranking over expanding their market.Also I have 1000+ reviews as a super host on Airbnb and I work in a very similar role as a senior resolution case manager.

Essentially, instead of selling a property and paying taxes on the capital gains, you can reinvest the proceeds into a similar property and defer the taxes.

That's where you will gain in cash flow.
