I would just point out that you must make clear you are selling the interest to purchase, cannot advertise the underlying real estate (as that would require a license).

Have you looked into advertising as a co-living LTR, or as a 'business to buy'?

I think at some point you have to recognize you had a good run and take your chips off the table.

Just wanted to chime in from a tax perspective, something to keep in mind and plan to have some discussions with your CPA:Using the property for personal use during the year will prevent you from recognizing some expenses on your property.

These referral services find flat fee agents in each state and then advertise flat fee MLS listing service to sellers.

The site advertises prices/week.

Income Late fee Gross rent Expenses Advertising Cleaning Gardening/lawn mowing Insurance Interest on loan(s) property tax Legal expenses Pest control Property agent fees/commission Repairs and maintenance Water charges Electric Bill Total expenses Net rental income or (loss)

You can’t really “lowball” rent offers so I’ll posit the advertisement matches up with the actual lease terms.

If it is in San Diego, it will likely be a sophisticated value add and not passive.So if you house hack a local property at high LTV, recognize it will cost you significantly more than renting a similar unit.  

If the building is currently recognized as a single family residence,  then you are changing use and presumably will need to sprinkler the building and satisfy other fire rating and STC rating requirements not to mention the added costs of having to run mechanicals for multiple units, multiple kitchens, additional bathrooms etc.
