We have no debt and good credit scores, do we have any options for making this work?

If there is a due on sale clause in the loan doc then it doesn’t matter what the loan officer told you verbally.I’m not an attorney, but from my understanding of the loan is still in your name personally a good litigator can pierce the veil and your LLC protection wouldn’t amount to much.

Personally, it’s something I always expect from a short-term rental, and it can have a huge impact on your reviews.To make things easier for both you and your guests, consider smart tools like locks, outdoor cameras, and smart thermostats.

We will shop for used appliances where we can when we need one… or pick up used cabinets if we can, or search eBay for something smaller,  but going to the extreme of personally shipping something big in internationally for one-off renovation needs seems like a stretch of reasonable.Just like you mention, the number of unknowns would not seem to be worth it to me.Just my 2 cents.Randy  

Personally, I've felt the investment has been poorly run in almost every possible way.

The challenge was balancing the relationship between landlord/tenant and a personal/friendly relationship.

My first ad budget was $295.00 credit I got from my local news paper. 

Relatively small amounts of interest income ($1600+ per year) is the highest taxed form of income I have found if you have kids at home.After earning a few grand in interest, It takes away my child tax credits and gives me an effective tax rate of 70%.   

Is there any benefit to visiting DoH offices in person? 

There is a big difference in how those are handled  HAHA I just saw a post and commented where the person wanted to ask if they should overpay for a home because they can get is seller financing.
