They wash up great, don't lint after the first couple washes and hold up really well.We have towels that are 5 years old still in the rotation and still look and work great.I will say that washing towels to keep them nice takes a slightly different tack.

This has definitely put a strain on our monthly spending, and feel a bit stuck atm and we really don't want to stop adding to our other investments bc this property makes us lose cash month to month.

If your goal is just to replace a good part of your W-2 income, then why not rotate that pile of equity into a CASH DEAL.

Since beginning, I've rented to about 8 different people from various walks of life - mainly business travlers from other countries, rotating medical students, and travel nurses.

If the financial strain of holding the property outweighs the potential for future appreciation or puts you in a precarious financial position, selling might be the safer option.Ultimately, the decision to sell or hold should align with your long-term investment goals, financial stability, and risk tolerance.

I believe the OP said earlier in the thread that the neighbor has another STR on his other side too… maybe he’s had trouble with guests and a rotating cast of strangers beside him daily and he wants to ensure the misery is more evenly distributed… I would hate to have a STR on both sides of my house.

We still have some original ones from 7 years of use still in rotation.

However, with the projected negative cash flow and uncertainties of remote management, consider the financial strain and risks.

This affordability presents investors with a distinct opportunity to enter the market without significant financial strain.

Maybe it's a human nature thing and I evolved from some other strain of extinct Neanderthal that made decisions based on need rather than social acceptance.
