No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

I figure if the equity we have cash flows better than similar equity in a single family residence in Utah would, then we should consider this AITD as a serious option.

I would go with option A.

And this does not even involve business or real estate!

The same players involved with some additions along the way.

The increasing barrier to entry results in fewer new STR's coming available for sale, but also fewer options for guests to rent. 

Through my research, it says that Cleveland and Toledo are both good options for real estate investing.

If the owner submits a completed application before the servicer starts the state foreclosure process, the servicer can't foreclose until the following occurs:the borrower doesn’t qualify for, or rejects, the lender’s loss mitigation options, orthe borrower accepts a loss mitigation offer but fails to fulfill its requirements."

While flips don’t usually qualify for 1031 exchanges, holding a property as a rental first might open this option.

Much like by the end of this decade, I will take those same steps to become even less involved with work and have more times with my kids who will be really developing and that will be my focus.The difference once I made money, and was able to make it make money for me I de-risked by eliminating leverage.
