Given the lack of activity / buyers in the market at this time with rates, would you reccomend holding and renting it until the market is better to sell in? 

There are plenty out there with fair rates and lower fees.

If she wants paid for canceled appointments, then I would suggest you look for a new cleaner.My policy is to keep all funds if the guests cancels within two weeks of their stay, unless I'm able to rent to someone else for the same period/rate.

If you aren't going to be living in CR full time as you try to execute the deal I do not think it is physically possible for you to obtain a loan from Scotia Bank and not worth your time to try because the rates are so high. 

@Jeffery Jones you understand you'll be buying Class C & D properties, not in the best of areas?

If it is your primary residence as indicated, just sell it and skip the 1031I Persue all 3 payment options concurrently and see which pans out as your best deal.

I got bit a couple years ago and went from a 6% rate to almost 10% rate.

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.

So it’s best to get ahead of it before the appraiser does for the 1007.

Fro the biggest reason, as you said, you own the home for the Best, First years of its life.
