It is easy to get upset as an owner, but cooler-heads are better.

The new buyer would have to honor the pre-existing oil rights of the oil company.My question is: is it possible to transfer oil rights but not mineral rights?

The quaility of old existing units, and the ability of the long term population to pay new rents, blended with an influx of small high end mill conversion units is simply not balanced.

My vision includes developing the land into a destination with features like driveways, walking paths, utilities, and unique lodging structures.Here’s my tentative plan1.Place the existing STR in an LLC2.Apply for an SBA small business loan to fund the next steps, including a feasibility study (~$10k+), land clearing, and infrastructure development.While this direction excites me, I’m torn between pursuing this venture and continuing with a more traditional approach—buying one home per year using conventional loans.I’d love to hear your thoughts:•Has anyone transitioned from STRs to glamping or similar ventures?

My plan is to convert the existing structures into 12 units and build 9 new construction units in the rear with a courtyard.

Thanks for all the advice, I'll definitely have to research more as I go about how to build out my portfolio and whether I want to pay down the existing loans or buy more.

You have two options: attempt to gather these resources or collaborate with an existing team.

Here are my thoughts about your decision to refinance.Process:Understand your current loan terms.Check your credit score.Compare offers from different lenders.Get your property appraised.Submit your application and go through closing.Considerations:Current interest rates vs. your existing rate.Amount of equity built in one year.Closing costs and fees.Your long-term financial goals.It's a complex decision, so consulting a financial advisor or mortgage specialist might be helpful.

@Travis Boyd Outside of instances where FHA or other extremely advantageous financing options exist I am a proponent of the LLC for investment real estate although the liability piece is overstated.
