Long term, I aim to achieve financial freedom and transition into real estate full-time.

., great schools, public transit, and a thriving local community.

Knowing your options make better and more profitable deals1.

I was told the investor pays to lease out the entire flat for 6-12 months and then sub-leases the individual rooms for a profit.

I would assume that you'd just simply sell each individual lot to the developer at a set lot price such that your cost to purchase the raw land and improve it to buildable lots was worth the proposed profit per lot.  

In your second post you recommend hiring "a legit STR manager and pocket[ing] the profits".

I don't know, I like to keep my business profitable?

Option C: Sell and cash out.Pros: get 10 years rents profit in a day.

However, I am not transitioning to Baselane to streamline each property's expenses.

In other words, the cap rate becomes fairly meaningless upon transfer.Your job is to assess whether or not you can make a good profit after buying the asset at whatever the sale price is.
