Selling to investors at a fraction of its worth is not ideal, so I'm looking for alternative solutions.

I would definitely ask your lender for an alternative.

Overall, this is a popular strategy in the Midwest for converting large old homes into multifamily units.

His company organizes structured settlement sales as an alternative to 1031. 

I don’t think the Airbnb market here is very popular but it seems like there would be enough people that visit the park that would make it worth it.

Ideally, I would like to buy in the Catskills since it’s close by, a popular year round destination from the city and has a history of vacation rentals but I know there’s more and more talks of regulations so I am open to other areas and would love to hear your thoughts/experience on the area.Would love to connect with anyone who has interest in the area and the short term world as well as agents familiar with STR who could help us in our search.

That is, unless investors are now willing to pay more than the 1% rule used to dictate.I know it will cost some time and money to get them vacant and fixed up, but the alternative seems to be to leave 10s of thousands of dollars on the table.

Many alternative lenders simply do not lend on mix-use real estate or require the commercial to residential exposure to be below certain thresholds.

Townhomes are also a good alternative.

It's in a popular year-round tourist destination with a shortage of hotels and heavy restrictions on STRs.
