This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

To really make a good informed decision you'll want to look at all of the metrics of your properties performance. 

Every day I receive calls from out of state investors who paid far too much for their property in my opinion and it always is because they trusted others too much instead of performing their own research.

I have gotten accelerated depreciation that has exceeded my initial investment.Now add that you could perform a value add to create some sweat equity. 

Plenty of STRs that perform just as good as the pool STRs because they have a great design, location, or other fun amenities that have less liability and headache.

Sounds like you’re trying to google and perform your own heart surgery.  

Well worth it IMHO given poor performance of RTO/seller financed zillow listings. 

I recommend people only sell if (a) you can invest the capital in something that performs better, or (b) it aligns with your goals.
