It's hard to say for sure without knowing your market numbers, but I would bet you if you looked at a 10 year projection, you will probably have a better ROI with the equity in 2 houses as opposed to the equity and cash flow with one. 

If STR's are popular in the market you are in likely there is a designer who will pick out and set up your entire place.3 - Go yourself. 

i think your best bet is to try to build a network within the investing world so you're positioned as a hub, someone who knows a lot of people, and see a lot of transactions.  

It has been mentioned above but your best bet is to separate the SFR and the 8 unit into two separate transactions.

Quote from @Mo Karim: With every increasing regulations on short term rentals, midterm rentals is becoming more popular with investors. 

Tile isn’t as popular in Northern New England.

But since MTR became popular especially in Vegas we just went to our broker who placed the tenant for a lease fee and its worked great.. its a nice way to go this MTR.. 

If you can hang on into next spring/summer I bet you'll get better rents or be able to sell.How about asking your lender to push a monthly payment to the end of your term for the purpose of fixing the asset?
