If you sell, do it because you want to, not because you aren't making as much money as your friends claim they are making on their STR (you're comparing apples and oranges).

Required distros for tax consequence.At the same time I kinda snicker a bit since the buyer... the investor... thinks they found the next Apple or Tesla investment (and they are clearly the smartest in the room), and then go off the rails when it all goes south, I can't help but shake my head and have a small giggle.A fool and their money soon go separate ways, Yes, but don't you wonder how they got together in the first place?

Wouldn't that be the apples to apples comparison to your services?  

Also MTR pricing software might not be effective yet because there are so many variables with properties its hard to truly comp and get an apples to apples comparison (without looking further into the property and the amenities that are covered)For example the pricing software will not know exactly which utilities are covered, how nice the furniture is, term of lease which can impact the rate, other amenities that is not uniform amongst MTR inventory.I recommend manually finding comps on Zillow.

Now, if you do not cash flow, do not appreciate, and use 40YFRM I/O then you have asset with negative yield.

Do one task in each app to compare apples to apples.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.

Have you looked into DSCR Loans that are "Partial IO" ? 

But I'm afraid of DSCR 1.05 with syndication of 5Y IO 75%LTV.At the end of the day it's market return that's important and not the cash flows.

You're not talking apples to apples.
