It brought in 120k last year, but I think we can bring in much more as we do upgrades including adding an extra story on top and as we run it as a bed and breakfast.  

The only question is if the increased risk of loss is worth the extra return. 

He is always having issues, confrontations, ongoing drama and the like.....You just provide an excellent service and smart people will pay extra.

When we were first selling homes in 2021, Buyers were upgrading to larger homes since interest rates were 3ish% and they could afford the extra 300+ sqft.Today, we see smaller homes selling significantly faster than larger homes.

If heat goes out in the winter we drop off several units, so they can be placed in different parts of the house - including every room with water like kitchen and bathrooms.We also have dehumidifiers, carpet blowers, shop vacs, puddle-sucker pumps, extra hoses, extra sump pumps with battery pack, squeegees, and portable AC units ready to deploy. 

I can not name any reasons which are worth the extra effort of investing there compared to sticking to a specific USA market.

If you don't need the extra money at closing and just want to pay off your current loan in hopes of a better rate, you could consider a rate term refi instead. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Jason Monaco: I listened to the webinar....more bad news. supposedly the company that was handling the pay off of the loan sold more assets than they should have and kept the extra moneys made on the sales.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Otherwise, they have to eat the extra expense just like homeowners do.I would talk to an attorney and your insurance company.
