I created the following decision tree diagram to illustrate the decision process (click to enlarge).The above decision process is based on the property’s performance record, with the goal of achieving financial freedom in mind.Financial freedom is not just replacing your current income.

The Cape also in my opinion is oversaturated with STR's so it's challenging to find a base number of how your property will perform. 

This is an ongoing situation and I’m hopeful that with RTR’s help, this story has a positive ending.TLDR:Property not performing as advertised.

I spend a total of 5 days a month performing maintenance related duties(replace flooring, windows, plumbing issues, ect.).

My wife and I have a few homes near campus we use as student rentals and they certainly perform well.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

If the assets makes financial sense to keep otherwise, hiring a PM solves your problem and allows you to keep a performing asset.

You have to properly vet and perform thorough due diligence (which I didn't do a couple years ago when I first jumped in).

The algorithm measures interest by these activities and pushes your listing higher to the top.Also, go into the Airbnb page Insights, Performance, Views to track your page views. 

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. .
