Hey Tod, I took a very brief look at your first listing, airbnb.com/h/newport1bedroom, and the thing that jumps out at me as far as improving it is: address the 1-star review head on without attacking the reviewer.

I'd also worry about the showings and if someone steals something from the tenants (or the tenants claim something is missing).Focus on getting the most you can for the property.

My focus is on providing either turnkey-style space for those interested in temporary, infrequent use or long-term leasing for business folks who require conference room space (or perhaps event space).

So back to the drawing board, but for myself the big takeaway is to continue on the course that I set out on and too continually learn and stay involved with goals that I set out on and to stay focused.

If my focus was Sandwich Lease Options, I'd have no problem doing dozens.

We have been attacking it via focus on expanded ancillary services.

I manage the real estate portfolios of my clients so they can focus their efforts on whatever they consider to be their "Highest and Best Use", which is usually looking for their next project.

I get a good laugh when I read  new investors post about buying C/D neighborhood assets liabilities and announce to the world how well they perform in the first few years focused solely on cash flow. 

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

Stay focused.4.Master your market.
