@Olga NadalThis is a tough situation, but here's my direct take: If you're losing faith in the investment, paying capital gains tax might be better than being stuck in a problematic deal for years.

I'm not sure how prevalent that last one is these days, but I've been asked to prove it in the past.

Hi John- they seem to be in a tough spot related to the Synapse Financial bankruptcy- they've essentially suspended operations and are trying to sort through the mess.

3rd treatment within 30 days today and no way to prove on either side who or what caused the fleas.

Cash flow is tough right now! 

@Renay Reese@Nathan G.I used to take the whole “I am a tough guy and can handle myself” attitude until I was actually assaulted by a tenant.

I will say Long-term rentals are tough to pencil in at the moment, but it can usually be done with a larger down payment.

Starting without cash flow can be tough, but if you're banking on appreciation and future refinancing, it can still work in the long run.

But if the market for large STRs is thin, the basement might not add substantial value.Selling: Selling could free up cash for other investments with better returns, especially if you’re uncomfortable with the low ROI and management required for STR.It’s a tough call, but if STR potential is there, it might be worth a trial period to see actual cash flow before committing fully to the basement investment.

@Chris PackerThis is a tough call.
