No one is in a hurry to do anything around here, keeping employees in this field is a joke, and it just flows downhill like that through subs, suppliers, inspectors and the like.

Mechanics liens I believe are mostly tied to new construction to ensure sub contractors get paid before a building is sold. 

Custom would be at least 1/3 more.

I want to get involved in the plans for the future, the financial goals of the owner, protecting the longevity and condition of the properties, maximizing income potential while also treating tenants like paying customers with fairness, care and respect.

I talk with some of these connections on a weekly basis in discord, so just listening to them, I'm able to draw inferences and learn about trends in sub-markets in western PA.

The motel we offered on was utilizing Airbnb solely for rooms, and I think there’s good opportunity to utilize STR OTAs and hotel booking sites to bring in customers.

Rather than asking non potential customers in here you can get a better result from potential customers, As well as tour of the competition.While you are there, maybe take some pics, and make a written record of rental rates and what features they have for that price.In a nutshell, become an expert on this specific investment in your local area and neighborhood, in order to try to reduce the risk of just guessing.Good Luck! 

If you must sell sub-2, cash out the underlying financing and then do it yourself. 

So for each type your customer base is quite different and with it your operations/management is different. 

I'm guessing sub-$100k.Retain the EMD and move would be my best advice.
