The good news is sometimes you don’t need to pay the thousands in attorney fees.

we have a flag lot and constant deliveries every single day.. so far so good.. we are on a culdesac with only 3 houses ( built mine and the one in front) someone would have to follow one of the vans to snag ours as you cannot see them from the street and I have not had anyone pull up into my driveway as you would have to back out.

No problem buying 10 of them if you can pull it off.

Annual fee of $1,000, no other payment options. 

Next step"If you could sell today, what would you like to get for your property, considering no closing cost, no realtor fees, and as-is condition? 

I don't have functions where people go to a low or no fee seminar making wild claims and trying to suck them out of 40,000 or more ( talking in generalities not a specific company ).

Plus the 1031 exchange agent's fee of $6500 for a build-to-suit exchange, the initial acquisition cost was close to $120k.

I'd consider doing some kind of cash out refi on the property at a number you're both comfortable pulling out, while still leaving $ for reserves to maintain the STR you currently have.

I think your best approach is to pretend you are the investor yourself, calculate build cost (mortgage with interest) + Maint / cap expenses/ management fees according to your zoning and then compare that to the average rent in that neighborhood.

we are using REsimpli for our CRM and they can pull data etc. its pretty much a one stop shop for running an investment firm/renovating/wholesaling.
