Sure, there will be some costs (i.e. monthly rent, furniture, etc) but this may be cheaper than sinking money into buying a property thinking you'll do well in STR ,only to find out that you aren't cash flowing and now you can't sell the property for a profit.What I do recommend is the following:1.

After selling it late last year, we found that we averaged about 6.5% appreciation each year over the past 4 years (we sold it for $126,000). 

I’m trying to decide whether or not to make one final offer before she shows it to investors tomorrow, where I know she will sell it. 

What is selling and/or renting for how much.

Contemplating my next move, I decided to sell the property to a smarter investor. 

I would advise you to hold this for longer then 12 months before you sell so you can have take advantage of paying less tax via capital gains.

If we sell everything, we will have about $1.1m to reinvest.

If it were me I would probably try to sell the lot and wait and see what happens.  

Open-ended questions such as: What got you looking to sell?

(He is going to tell the ones he likes that he is selling and ask if they want to buy it before we proceed any further.)
