These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

STR seems to have better tax benefits (in the right market) but is it worth it at a distance ???

You have the ability to sell while limiting your capital gains tax because you lived in 2 of the last 5 years. 

So if you have the property for a total of 10 years, moved in at year 8, little value or tax advantage.

Not to mention that regulations are always changing and new taxes on STRs are always being implemented.

Be aware of tax implications: rental income is taxed in the property’s state and reported on your California return, with deductions for travel, depreciation, and expenses.

Industry professionals are biased towards what makes them the most money, understandably, because why else are they in this business but to make money? 

Any guidance from experienced investors, real estate professionals, or anyone who has faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. 

The final straw was just last week when tenant randomly attacked my competency in my professional career.
