You'll never convince a tenant that they are getting a good deal, especially as a self manager, no point in even engaging in those conversations. 

Look to ask the seller about financing back whatever they want for their equity but make sure the mortgage rate and payment are at a place where you will be able to cash flow effectively.

How much it makes as a LTR/STR/MTR doesn't have any effect on the pricing as it's value is strictly from comps.

Then you can self-manage and learn all about tenants, contractors, etc. 

However, you can reduce tax liability by:Converting the flip into a rental for at least a year, allowing for depreciation and potential 1031 exchange benefits when selling.Offsetting gains with deductions, such as accelerating business expenses or using cost segregation for rentals.Using an S-Corp for future flips to lower self-employment taxes while keeping rentals in an LLC for liability protection.Deferring deductions to 2025 if your 2024 taxable income is high.While a 1031 exchange isn’t an option for flips, strategic tax planning can help minimize taxes.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If I take a break, that part of the business cannot function effectively.  

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.
