No need for a PMS with only one.AirBNB and VRBO can handle things for you.In the end you won't save much time with only one STR.Plus, personal correspondence really works well to boost those 5 star ratings. 

It’s mentally tasking, which is my biggest battle now.

It’s so mental but if you have stuffed feelings of hatred against the successful people you see you actually are also going to judge your future self for becoming successful and likely sabotage it before you get there. 

Use the slower months to refine your operations and marketing strategy to boost occupancy and revenue.

Typically, homeowners who lost everything are going to be in shock and not going to be in that mental headspace right away.

@Steven Catudalthe 'no cash flow on a BRRRR' is typically just because you are boosting the ARV and then taking out the maximum amount you can on the refinance, often using a DSCR loan with a higher rate. 

The primary advantage is the tax-deferred or tax-free growth—like other IRAs, any profits from real estate investments grow without immediate tax consequences, which can significantly boost your retirement savings over time.

Agreed, I share the same mentality.

Additionally, creative revenue streams like adding storage or premium amenities can boost NOI.

Just curious... what’s your ultimate goal for that office space..are you looking to boost resale value, or is it more about having a functional retreat above the garage?
