Dump the thing and either hang on to the cash while you find a performing asset or 1031 into something that does perform.

Hey @Sidney Duquette so I am not a fan of buying properties that can't perform with the hopes that it will build equity to offset the losses.

Not sure how accurate it is, but could be directionally helpful.

Come to think of it, though, I can't imagine why they wouldn't let me perform one just to understand how much I can offer.  

Is this accurate? 

It's important to have a good understanding of the different areas of Cincinnati and Dayton, so you can assure that you're pulling accurate comps.

With your background in lease management and site selection, that could be a natural next step.Regarding STRs, I can understand the hesitation—accurate expense tracking is critical, and not having that data can make evaluating deals frustrating.

Is this accurate?

What I said in an earlier comment about "section 179 can't be used to create a business loss", that wasn't entirely accurate/complete. 

In the case of GEG, we let our members know we did not have a track record with them - they were new to us and just being tested - and therefore it was even more important to perform thorough due diligence since we can't be involved in the transaction.
