I think a lot of people like those on the Forum are entrepenurial thinkers and can design ok on their own, but of course there are some people who cannot design a doghouse and will need you for the whole project, lots of those folks out there..... :-)

My dilemma has been that I've gotten a little behind on some revolving debt that selling this property now could eliminate in addition to giving me cash on hand to trade into some better value or start a new construction duplex project I've been wanting to start.

. ;-)Some things come to mind-do you host yourself, have a property manager or co-host, is your STVR dog friendly, do you have king beds, where is your market, do you have professional photos etc.

Can you send me a couple addresses of projects that someone completed that fit your model?

This property also launched my short-term rental journey, running our first Airbnb before transitioning it to a steady cash-flowing rental, allowing us to scale into bigger projects.

I've learned a lot in my 4-year project, and it has been a lot of work.

Are you looking to do more rehab projects like this (either house hack or not)?

I feel that MLS is not accurate because not all property managers put them in. 

So, I’m curious how you are managing to find your deals, whether you are buying at auctions or via marketing direct to sellers.

The particulars of a project, whether fix & flip (cash now), fix & hold (cash flow), rehab & reboot (cash out), is only one of many ways lenders decide whether to invest or not.
