BP is so large now, unfortunately, there are a lot of "professionals" advertising their services here but don't know the REI industry.So, to protect yourself in the future, I'd ensure at least a few other REIs have worked with the professional you choose to hire and have received enough value from them to refer their services.You can always ask the professional for references as well and they should have no problem providing a few if they are good at what they do.Just my 2 cents.

However, you’d want to carefully evaluate market conditions to ensure you don’t lose too much on the sale.Pros:Avoid further investment and risk.Free up capital for other opportunities.Cons:Selling costs and potential difficulty finding a buyer.You may miss out on potential appreciation.Recommendations:STR Route: If you believe there’s potential to improve revenue and occupancy by refining your property’s appeal, going the STR route could work.

But my biggest advice, make sure you properly comp the property.
