In my market, buyers are looking for about 12% or more in gross rental income relative to purchase price, so if you have a $500K property that's only doing $40K/yr under the current management, don't post rental history (though most buyers will ask for it, so be prepared to explain why it's performing the way it is).Also, network with agents who specialize in STRs.

If your rental income doesn’t outpace inflation, you won’t have the additional money to pay inflated prices.This means the decision to sell or hold depends on how the property has performed in the past relative to inflation.

A STR manager can not maximize the performance of a MTR.
