You may want to remove yourself from the situation since you are emotional about the situation.

Though it was a costly mistake, it was a lesson learned that I'll never forget. 

Partner Driven and Traci Stephens recognized this as a low-risk deal with high potential for a rapid turnaround, making it a perfect addition to our portfolio.

We are actually thinking about moving into the smaller unit. we are thinking if we should rent the main unit for long term rental or STR like airbnb but im afraid with airbnb, the non occupied days we may miss out on cash if its not rented out. 

Do not rely on it for legal advice.

Hoping to find something I could mostly rent out & may be use with my family if its slow/ not rented.

If you do go to sell it and it appreciated say 8%, that is going to be eaten up by your closing costs...Personally I do not see this as a deal.

Obviously it wouldn’t be people selling in your state, they already have a realtor. 

My wife and I moved 4 yrs ago and fell in love with the area, its people and specially the food.

Its interest income - unless you wanted to run it through a C corp but then you pay corp tax first.Other option is to use a deferred retirement account.
