Now that I’ve embraced that the debt is part of the overhead of having the business, it is much less of a pain point.Best of luck with whatever you decide.

For many it's BEST to be away from your properties, so to remove that option of embracing impulse to be a lazy operator and run-on-over to do everything yourself; be handy-person, be leasing agent, be the PM, be the lawn care provider etc etc..

They will know your local markets, including communities and building departments to avoid, or embrace, and possibly the same for contractors or other service providers.A local lender will have an idea of local comps and might even know your specific property.

Share your thoughts and strategies on embracing change and fostering a thriving real estate investment environment.

And it'll be a healthier market to buy/sell in.

Seems to me you are throwing away the advantage of a long term tenancy and embracing the problems associated with it.

Embracing value investing, long-term rental income, and strategic renovations for quick profits are key tactics.

I personally like to buy in areas where vacation rentals are fully embraced and have no significant rules.

Let's embrace the opportunity to transform our properties into standout havens that attract and retain the best tenants.

The only thing is that I would still have this huge debt burden(personal not the property) that makes it hard to go with that decision.I guess I thinking if I am able to clear all that and still have around 50k to start fresh then my mental well being would be healthier:) I could also use that money for a down payment down there as well.I also have some taxes that are on a payment plan that it would take care of as well.
