Some companies may include in their contract that property management fees much be paid for the length of the agreement regardless of if the property is sold or removed from their management.

A good PM can often get higher rent to offset their cost because they manage at arms length compared to the owner who may be worried about charging market because it’s “too high”.

Current owner is willing to break even on the purchase price however, in my opinion I think he should consider 5 or 10k less then the purchase price considering the amount of repairs he neglected over the length of ownership.

What is the length of the term and the interest rate the Hard money lender is offering?  

Given all your data on historic pricing, average length of stay, and pricing at the 25th percentile, please let us know if you're able to push up the VRBO chain to speak to a Supervisor (or equivalent) and have them verify the data that supports your position.I can share that calling the VRBO support line: 877-202-4291, identifying yourself & property ID, and requesting a Supervisor politely and repeatedly, can lead to different outcomes.

I can into this at length so if you need more details let me know but for the sake of time - it's allowed.3.

@Michael Overall, The length of time that a DST is open is going to keep you from doing this over time like @Jon Taylor said. 

This is much lower than the costs associated with refinancing.Benefits of Mortgage RecastingLower Monthly Payments: The most immediate benefit is a reduced monthly payment, which can free up cash for other financial goals.Save on Interest: By reducing your principal balance, you’ll pay less interest over the life of the loan, potentially saving thousands of dollars.No Credit Check or Appraisal: Unlike refinancing, recasting doesn’t require a credit check, income verification, or home appraisal, making it a quicker and simpler process.Keep Your Current Interest Rate: If you have a favorable interest rate on your current loan, recasting allows you to maintain it while still lowering your payments.Drawbacks of Mortgage RecastingRequires a Lump Sum: Not everyone has the cash on hand to make a significant lump sum payment, which can make recasting inaccessible for some homeowners.Doesn’t Shorten Loan Term: While your monthly payments are lower, recasting doesn’t reduce the length of your loan.

I'd be happy to discuss this or any other topics regarding property management at length via message if you'd like.
