And how you started smoking the first one before you even got out the door As the tenant squeezes onion juice into their eyes for special effects before the judge and mouth wide open reporters.

There are pros to cons to that approach, but just trying to get your creative juices flowing...Does that help?

STRs are not nearly as passive as LTRs but they can really juice your returns if you learn to self manage remotely.

I think the numbers are not great on this deal because he is sucking a lot of the juice out of the deal by being heavy handed.

And frankly, paying a long term cap gains decades from now might not be so bad if I've juiced the thing for monthly cash flow for 30 years. 

(Or, something like that - just don't expect it to clinch the deal) It's still a "belly to belly" business for most people.

That would be a problem.But as long as the grass is cut, trash is put out, and junk doesn't pile up outside, I agree with the majority - let him stew in his juices.

Are you able to 1031 their money into another deal, where you can juice those returns even more and continue making their money work for another few years?

The house stays and get's juiced if the lots can be split with it on it. 

Also as @Scott Anderson stated it’s likely that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze to bring on OPM money for a house hack.
