I know I should leave my emotions out of it haha. 

I think the poster needs to make sure all the facts are in line with their emotions, and I would suggest adding a profile picture, so it seems more real and not a get back situation.   

It's not an emotional thing, it's a rational decision based on returns.

This is why we use tech tools and than a human disseminates it and adjusts it to a real world applicable strategy and actions. ai still does not have command of human emotions, and until it does, ai won't have command of how these things fully work and how to best navigate them. 

Debt reduction also has many philosophies and it's okay to choose emotion over the academic arbitrage, it's your life and your choice.  

There will be significant cost and time involved, hence the alternative, pre-emptive steps outlined.Focus on loss minimization rather than an emotional response.Best of Luck -

But then I keep telling myself: "Take the emotions out of it,its about the money"

Could also hire a good STR company that can market the property better, price strategically, and offer better guest experience since the owner emotions are moved, which in turn ups the revenue. 

I'm looking for a prospective tenants to see my photos online and make an emotional decision that they want to live there.

Looking back, I realized the importance of sticking to the facts and not letting emotions cloud your judgment.And don't forget about building relationships.
