This gives me potential listings that I wouldn’t have received otherwise.The reason I am contemplating this position is because it combines two of my favorite things.

Hope this helps, but I know you got a lot to contemplate here. 

I have 250k liquid and am contemplating selling a STR  ( 5 bed 3 bath Poconos )that I just bought  4 months ago, to get another 250k bringing my funds up to 500k

I am contemplating 1031 exchange in a paid off vacation rental roughly $650,000+ profit.

After a lot of contemplating over the last few weeks I am questioning if buying a house right now is a good idea - granted we are pending a recession at anytime.

@Joe MayolBefore contemplating any tax deferral strategies mentioned in the earlier replies (and some more complex ones that were not mentioned, like monetized installment sales or private annuity trusts) - make sure to carefully calculate the real tax impact of your sale.

Hey all, I have a LTR in the Lawrence area 46235 and am contemplating converting it to an STR. 

I would re assess your long term goals and investigate the regions you are contemplating.

I am currently contemplating to SELL or KEEP RENTING.SELL - I can free up and buy another property but with int rates are higher than what I have so not sure if that’s the right option.

The same investor cycles through a couple tenants, a few property managers, gets swindled by a couple of contractors and whenever they do try to exit the property - that’s when they realize they can’t escape for more than what they have tied up in the property.Now things can get even more interesting - while the investor contemplates their next move, their property is vacant and then gets ran through - thieves and vandals step in.
