Have you checked VRBO and AirBNB?

As mentioned in my original post, the use of a lower property tax expense projection (even lower value than the year before the record sales price) in the pro forma should never have passed any due diligence check (it was 70% off from pro forma!).

This one I might take from the deposit, depends on how much if it is really worth it.

I wonder if it's worth it to sell shares pay the 15% capital gains and pay off the mortgage.

I also kept my first home and it is paid off now and worth approximately $150k, with current renters. 

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Be mindful that there are rules that the lenders want you to check off.Furthermore, there are other rules on the tax side where you want to normally be under to get the most tax benefits.The magic number in both instances is '14 days'Lenders want you to stay atleast 14 days to meet the secondary home requirement.The tax accountant normally wants you to stay less than 14 days or 10% of the days it was used as a rental to treat it as a rental and not as a personal residence.Best of luck!
