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?

I could not myself perform the technical labor as I lack the know how, but what I could do was help boost moral.

Payments stay lower, cashflow better and it'll boost your balance sheet not to mention lower risk when things go awry. 

Plus, you’re close to paying it off, and owning it free and clear in a few years would only boost your returns.

Alternatively, consider increasing rent or reducing expenses to boost cash flow.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Plus there's sports there to continue to boost the area.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

Sometimes pulling out equity and reinvesting it elsewhere..maybe in a smaller, more agile asset..can give you the cash flow boost you’re after without giving up a solid property.Improving the property’s current performance by making it more appealing to tenants or tweaking lease structures could give you a nice bump.

Are you planning to hold as-is and focus on cash flow, or do you have a strategy for infill, increasing rents, or improving park infrastructure to boost value?
