However, I happen to own 2 houses already on that street of older small 2/1s including the one next door that I purchased last summer in updated condition with a good long term tenant in place for $25k!!! 

Would love to get some more information on the deal like how you found it, how long ago you bought it, etc.  

Last but not least....A few members in replies have already mentioned why it makes sense to hold…….I very much appreciate ALL FEEDBACK, however I think it will be helpful to provide some added context as to why I am absolutely certain (and my CPA’s are convinced as well) on my decision to liquidate the entire portfolio and onceAs I educate clients on daily, income tax brackets as well as long term capital gain tax brackets in our country are more favorable right now than they've been at any point in the past 80 years.

I am considering converting to a long term rental but thought that mid term might also be a good approach as well considering the home is fully furnished.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

I have 20+ VA'S, however, it took a long time.  

Long term, your property is going to up in value; likely way up.

Either way, could always have the plumbers plumb the system to make it easy to put each unit on its own meter in future (so long as it’s not crazy expensive).Unit Configurations Below for Reference:x2 2 bed 2 bath, 800 sq ftx1 2 bed 1 bath, 1,000 sq ftx1 3 bed 3 bath, 2,000 sq ft

My favorite source is Navy Federal for its long draw period of 20 years, and Figure for its fast funding.  

I took too long to make some decisions regarding design and it slowed me down.
