Didn't get into rentals on pupose but it's working out well and I want to continue to learn and develop my portfoilo.

I'm looking in miami florida for sites where we could get the numbers to work and we are getting close maybe in homestead. with that you could continue to pull cash out after it was built. in our market we need about .1 acres and we get land under 60k that the investors buy. the build cost is about 75% of appraised value or a little less. the investor refinances out on a DSCR loan and continues on. this strategy is ground up and it takes advantage of the buyers market for land in our market.

Similarly, homes that have unusual layouts or less traditional features often benefit from full staging, as it helps buyers envision how the space can work for them.That said, even in more budget-conscious markets, full-service staging can still provide a significant return on investment, especially if the home has been on the market for a while or if it's empty and lacks warmth.

I will continue to work on the things you mentioned 

I just bought it in the fall and am trying to complete a bunch of modifications during off-season (e.g. metal roof, certain safety features, treating the deck, possibly updating the fire pit area, etc). 

It has been a great rental and would continue to be one but I think I am ready to sell it!

I'd likely just agree to break the lease with a couple months of rent as a penalty rather than force these people to continue being tenants in my property....you never know what will happen to the condition of the property.

Even after moving 2.5 years ago, I continued to self-manage because I had a solid network of connections that made it pretty easy to handle remotely.That said, it eventually came down to wanting my time back.
