Since purchasing, we remodeled the kitchen, new roof, painted the exterior, and are in the process of remodeling the master bathroom.As with everyone, we like the idea of a tenant providing cash flow, and long term advantages that come with keeping a rental home.

Added a master bath and moved/ enlarged the first bath.

I paid off the loan in 2021 (inheritance plus good savings from my job, and April 2022 I decided to get a HELOC do a renovation, and make the house modern and fancy (R&Q select oak  throughout, modern kitchen, took down 2 walls for open space vibe, modern electric fireplace bumpout with cabinets in veneer wood, bar in veneer wood, remodeled master bathroom, Sonos music system throughout the house.

A master plumber once told me that they tend to give out around year 50.

I think by now I have a masters degree in BP podcasts, Short Term Shop and real estate books.

I highly recommend "Mastering Real Estate Investment" By Frank Gallinelli.

Quote from @Lucien Perreault: This would probably be considered a Master Lease.

Question for lenders out there - if a buyer is entering into a master lease option with a balloon payment at 5 years, would they be able to refinance out of the option to pay off the seller for the "loan"? 

Authenticator apps like google authenticator, authy, or one built into your password mgr.Also use a password manager app like 1Password or LastPass, so that it generates loooong unique passwords for every site/service that even you don't know but can unlock using a "master" password.I personally use 1Password, works greatCheers

They do have master plumbers employed there that are happy to talk you through your issues and won't try to waste your time coming out to look when they know you need someone else.
