@Kerry Hermann - the posts by @Michael Ewers and @Samuel Coronado were solid advice (I don't know Nita Cook whom Sam referenced, so that's the only part of his post I can not comment on).I second what Michael said about the market here - it was fantastic from 2017 (when I started) through 2022 - then it really started to crater in 2023 (although we still found some deals), and the bottom completely dropped out in 2024 (found one small commercial deal and one residential flip deal in 2024 - that's it). 

Things like these only sound good, they don't work.Again, the top producer would never go by your flip, ever, in a million years.

I was hoping there'd be a way to keep the super host status + reviews from our personal account but layer that within a new "brand" account - but it sounds like that may not be possible. 

Any advice or experiences you’re open to sharing would be greatly appreciated!

It’s generally better to pay taxes, especially if it’s preferential LTCG treatment and make a sound investment with cash that remains than defer and make poor investment decisions. 

Any advice it very much appreciated.

Any advice on how to get the process started would be appreciated. 

Hi Kris,It sounds like you’ve got a great property under contract with a solid entry price, and the only challenge is the interest rate of 7.125%.

My advice would be to use a PM only if you can find a great one!

Hey @Sara Valentine,It sounds like this is a common problem with many other STR and MTR operators locally and across the country.
