Maybe a temporary alarm that would go off after 5 minutes could work.

"Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow" - PLATOThat said, the cost of procrastination can be much greater than the fear of failure, both emotionally and financially. 

Almost like a therapist, a good mediator can really help people come to terms because they help take some of the emotion out of conflict.

Im not against the idea of making it a temporary STR as it’s only about 10mins from Daytona’s beach’s. 

I don't want to babysit adults in a home I have an emotional attachment to.

In this sense a Landlord puts far less emotion into things, if the numbers work, they work, done deal, and of not, then no go period.

Quote from @Angela Persico: I don't have time to read the other responses, so this may be a repeat.You're too emotionally involved and inexperienced.

Either these are really obvious scratches or you're getting too emotional about it.The damage is completely cosmetic.

We learned a ton:- How to navigate the Airbnb and VRBO platforms and optimize our listings- How to communicate with guests throughout their booking, stay, and post-stay time periods- How to operate a STR and still be a good neighbor to community members who live nearby year-round- Navigating crises (After one month, we had a frozen / burst pipe and flood affecting all 3 floors while guests were present, which could have been a financial and emotional disaster) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

However, investors are human and we are subject to emotions.
