Using a rental is one of the best reasons to buy one so I like your thinking there.The proliferation of STR in ski areas have made areas a little farther out more of an option in some of the ski areas so you can track the options by looking where they short-terms stop on the map in the areas you like.

If this trend is likely to continue, it might be financially straining to keep the property, especially if you need to invest more in renovations.Financing Options for Renovations: If you decide to renovate, consider how you'll finance these renovations.

I do agree that Mixed-Use took a beating these past few years and would like to see more competitive options. 

Rather than selling the property right now, you could consider doing a lease option. 

Its a nice 3/1 in denver, itll rent in a day if STR isnt an option.

That's an option, but it's the same money essentially, pay it all now, or over the next year.. 

They figured out that this would be their best option and they took it.

John, most large national banks have actually very good HELOC options.

Is this the only qualifier that stands in the way between the two 1040 options?

But sometimes that isn't an option.
