the profit is far less than I typically achieve but this is an awesome cabin (it was owned by a country music star in the past). 

This deal showcased our streamlined process and Erika's keen market insights, resulting in a swift transaction and a substantial profit.

Often times you will pay much more in taxes than if you pulled the money out, paid the taxes and penalty and then started investing in real estate.For example, with the financing you mentioned, the IRA must pay taxes on the portion of the profit earned by financing. 

I would also consider MTR in these markets as it is highly profitable with less turnover and more options for guests.

Long term financing ensures solid, residual net-profit income without being a landlord How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

There is no way I can build this and come out overall profitable.

And following this convoluted rabbit hole calculate what kind of property you would need to exceed the profit level you have right now. 

When you add rehab costs and effort, holding costs, and selling cost there is not much profit. 

OMG, this is an insane profit.
