Another option I forgot about was to just cash the policy out.

I have another one were I optioned 120 acres that just got brought into long term planning for chips act. paid 5 million for it and spend 10k a month negative..

Another odd thing was the same buyer added a second option of a cash purchase that was close to half the asking price.

There are definitely multiple options and some will allow for a set amount of personal transactions per year to waive commission splits.

Strategies include offering owner financing, allowing trade-ins, or providing lease options.

To navigate this, consider options like keeping your current home as your primary residence while house hacking a multi-unit property, using the HELOC funds strategically before moving, or exploring alternatives like a bridge loan or cash-out refinance.

Of course if you are required to pay off the 2% mortgage then your cash on cash ROI goes way down, but with a 30% equity cushion you’re still way ahead.I really dislike contractor for deed, lease option, or not recording warranty deed as “solutions” for the due on sale clause.  

At some point, if your business takes off, the single member LLC gives you optionality to move to an S Corp (which typically means less self employment taxes). 

As for property management software, options like Hostaway or Lodgify can streamline bookings and communication.

There are a lot of options out there, but the rates are excruciating right now for new flippers.
