Most buyers seem OK with a P/E that’s a lot higher than I would be comfortable with. 

I haven't set specific targets beyond this initial goal, but I may aim to increase my passive income to $5,000 or $10,000 per month in the future.Current PropertiesI currently have two properties:The Loft:This property is rented out long-term and generates around $300 per month in passive income after HOA and management fees.The loft has approximately $100,000 in equity.The House:This is a brand-new build (2024) that I'm currently occupying through house hacking.I invested $70,000 in the property, which means I have $70,000 in equity.My plan is to convert this property into an Airbnb or long-term rental within the next two years.Short-term rental comps suggest I can earn around $3,500-$4,000 per month, while long-term rental comps indicate I can earn around $3,000-$3,300 per month.Seeking AdviceGiven my upcoming financial situation, I'm seeking advice on the best course of action.

I have had years to think about this having owned a nice slug of A class IE brand new construction in the best school district in the state. and over 300 C and D class with a sprinkling of B class.from Jackson MS to Detroit and many cities in between and on both coasts... 

Try buying a MF in E Clev, good luck there is no inventory for a reason :)  Again I am going by my 10 years of doing 100s and 100s of deals there, 1ks or reno/repairs, 1ks move in and outs working with all the govt agencies.

Rather than setup LLCs for each property and deal with the added expenses and book keeping,  we just file them on schedule E and I have a butt load of liability coverage.If I keep them,  I might want to restructure as part of the refinancing to reduce my exposure and maybe even set them up so the kids could take over without having to be actively involved.
