@Bob Asad While this negative cash flow scenario presents challenges, I am of the perspective that it doesn't necessarily mean the investment is a bad decision for you.

I've attended most at one time or another, typically when they have a speaker that interests me.DFW Investor GroupsPlease note I am not affiliated in any way with any of the groups other than that I have attended some of their meetings/presentations.

I showed how I figured cash flow like I would making a presentation to a banker. 

The risk is always present due to the region's geography and climate and it's crucial to have a solid preparedness plan and adequate insurance coverage. 

We host a STR focused hot sheet that at presents shows 100+ active or eligible STR's listed for sale- Exclusivity & Trajectory: As popular as STR's are, there really aren't that many (homes in general) on the Oregon Coast.

A 1031 is not a choice unless your you know something negative about your property not present in the target.

It's highly recommended to seek personalized advice from a qualified CPA, EA, or tax professional who can assess your specific situation based on the facts presented

You are already jeopardizing your relationship by presenting what they think is a low offer, but they are clearly in need of a sale.

You have to weigh the cost benefit analysis and what risks truly present themselves with the properties currently owned in your name.

Gregg and Pablo do a fantastic job of presenting opportunities and explaining various facets of passive, turnkey rental property ownership.Ken Meleen
