@Daniel ZapataWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I got (very) lucky and realize I was fortunate; I also realize how easy it is to lose everything via marriage, people targeting you, etc., so you got to put yourself in situations where you're a rookie often and you realize you're working at a deficit.

You would be paying back the loan via renting and refinancing or selling the property and paying the money back .

Therefore, an Ellis Act withdrawal will disqualify a site from being eligible for a SB 9 Two Unit Development for a 15-year period from the date of withdrawal.A property owner who has completed an Ellis Act withdrawal at their site may pursue an SB 9 Urban Lot Split only if the units withdrawn from the RSO (via an Ellis Act withdrawal) are not demolished or altered.

Seems like holding to sell until December makes the most sense.As for lodging, I think you're right that it's already taken out via Airbnb.

Reach out to me via text/call it's easier than going back and forth in the forums.

@Brian NewsomeYes, you claim depreciation for ~11.5 months 2023 --- as I recall on SchE.It will all be recaptured via the other tax forms, e.g. f4797 and something like the SchD tax worksheet.Depreciation unrecapture can be pretty wacky on the forms if you are trying to figure it out yourself. 

In one market I am in I have a website setup via channel manager about 18 months ago and have no clue on SEO and only made about 12 Facebook posts in the last year BUT 42% of my bookings for all 3 properties came from my website. 

Found it via Zillow and negotiated with the selling agent

Yes, we indeed did own the property until about 2 years ago when the bank took it back via deed in lieu of foreclosure action.
