The company I use sells an additional audit guarantee where they will do a fully engineered study if you get audited.

What is the best avenue to successfully sell a turnkey STR? 

Goal was to buy and hold this one.After checking comps again, looked like there was enough meat there to flip it and make a few bucks so we're trying to sell it right now, but we'll see.

I would buy a Timber track log it.. then sell the land to someone who wanted to build but needed a few years to get the building permit etc.

i’ve considered multifamily multiple times, but finding the right person to help me that wasn’t just trying to sell mentorship seemed overwhelming.One of the things that I would want to do in an apartment purchase is to do more than simply syndicated.

Focus on these core concepts:Projected hold timeProjected cash-on-cash returnsProjected profits at the sale Projected Hold Time: ~5 YearsProjected hold time, perhaps the easiest concept, is the number of years we would hold the asset before selling it.

An agent is transaction based and doesn't have to deal with anything after they sell you a property.A contractor is also transaction based.Inspectors, attorneys, etc. - most of them perform their task and "disappear" until next time.The PMC is the only team member that has to deal with a property & tenant on a daily basis.Recommend a chat with Michael as he can refer you to all of the above.

Should I sell or keep it as rental?

We are selling a Virginia property which we bought as our primary, but switched it to an STR.

Assuming both properties are/would be LTRs, these would be netted together on Schedule E, which would flow through to Schedule 1 and/or Form 8582.You'd also want to be aware of the potential for depreciation recapture when going to sell the property if you're not using a tax-deferred exchange.
