Hi all- My husband and I are considering selling our short-term rental property in Vermont to pay our kids' college loans, and we're looking for input to see if we are missing anything in the big picture.Here are the details: We purchased a log cabin in Vermont in November 2020 for $440,000 with a 2.75% interest rate.

Short Term Rentals?

I used to have a 6/2 on Ohio State university campus north of downtown columbus and I got 1600 a weekend and netted 2500 a month probably. a lot of days were vacant but we did really well all the time for huge groups which is a nice I still recommend and there's not a lot. we just sold a new build for a medium term rental in newark close to intel. there's demand for high quality, well furnished places. 

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

Would love long term rentals paying my dividends but old homes in Florida area give me stress that one year it can all get wiped out with nothing to show from it. 

I have 3 doors (long-term SFR).

And you need to take care of more basic things first, otherwise slapping an LLC on top isn't going to help.Note: Asset Protection Onion Diagram - what, when, and at what cost one should implement in terms of asset protection - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-onion-diagram-v2 e. 

I focus mainly on smaller multifamily of roughly 10+ units that are non-professionally managed.This has allowed me to negotiate better deals with great terms.

You can get money on these terms from anyone.

As a result, it seems the value is really just very long-term and if we sold it in the future, any repairs and taxes would cancel out much of the gains (depending, of course, on the pace of appreciation -- who knows what that'll be?).
