As more people placed more properties in STR inventory, and as more municipalities taxed and regulated the industry, the profitability of the overall industry has reverted to a much more aligned (lower) risk adjusted return.  

A financial advisor or real estate pro could help you map it all out more concretely.If I were in your shoes, I'd probably lean towards selling and reinvesting into some more diverse assets, or just more properties, but that's just me. 

I do generally agree with the sentiment of Austin and the other hosts that fundamentals will always win out in the long run, and this by nature is a long term industry, even the sales side I'm learning.  

Oregon is a diverse real estate market with a lot to offer but not a lot of established property inventory for sale.

Main goal is to simply expand my network and nurture new relationships in the industry, and jam on experience in the world of STR investing...or just investing in general.  

To them, everything takes "5 minutes" to do.The entire PMC industry has major challenges when it comes to handling maintenance, so it's a featured topic at most industry conferences.

Contrary to most business lending, the REI industry has a lot of "non-bank" lenders that provide attractive loans that can lower your cost of capital and improve your profit/cash flow. 

It also allows the manager to work directly with the insurance company to resolve issues efficiently.In Texas, this is part of the standard Texas Board of Realtors Property Management Agreement and is considered an industry best practice.

That shouldn't necessarily be a differentiator when choosing a lender, as evidenced by the boom of the DSCR lending industry....non of which are FDIC insured.
