Selling possibly a good idea.

However, the value of your labor generally cannot be included in the cost basis for depreciation purposes.Accelerated Depreciation: A cost segregation study would identify components of your property that can be depreciated over shorter periods, such as personal property and land improvements.

I'm just kind of waiting for this market to level out a bit before dipping back in after selling my STR for a nice profit.

It is very hard to tell if we are getting paid all we are due. (3) I have been told they are more setup to handle extremely low-income areas, which doesn’t exactly describe the properties we have.They have been so unbelievably incompetent on the whole, it has made my wife and I consider just selling our properties and getting out.

You won't get that money until you sell but you are getting the tax benefits and the cash flow.  

They are also hard to sell down the road. 

If you put down 10% the seller will probably get nothing, it will all go to selling costs.

However I am not selling someone on the notion I am going to hand deliver everything I learned in my career for $15,000.

Cannot sell right now either, I am pivoting my research in the Florida market to invest and potentially purchase a property for STR in 2025 and I had a few conversations with mortgage brokers to get some insights. 

I have a few Oc rentals as well as sell real estate.
