Assuming the tenants cooperate with the sale, we are contemplating selling the property at $389,000 to see if we get our number, then using the proceeds for an Air BNB property out of sate or...holding on to the property, obtaining new tenants and eventually do a cash out re-fi or line of credit to purchase another home.

He wants to rent an Air bnb for the construction phase and to not have to pay me rent, but my insurance agent says that the house will be inhabitable during construction so I am not entitled to loss of rent.

I purchased an air purifier for the unit to rid the smell and had pest control back out to the whole building the same day the smell was reported.

In my area the growth and demand for a little land and fresh mountain clean air & water is exponential.  

Not all mountains are equal and location is key if you are wanting the seasonal rental or Air BnB money to be constant and a good investment.  

I get a few per year on Air so I put up with the Airbnb crowd.

And first let me clear the air and say I'm not one of these "STRs to the moon so better get levered up as much as possible" sort of viewpoints. 

Sometimes verbal numbers appear out of thin air!

You'll write a check to the IRS for $2,400 for the income tax leaving you with $3,600 that was essentially created out of thin air... an infinite ROI.

It has forced air heat, but no AC with my estimated cost of $5k  Paint, fixtures, etc throughout $5k.
