Will it help you achieve your long term goals? 

Congratulations, that's an achievement!

Where they aren't clicking a button on their end to "boost" you - but they can "reset" some of your search criteria and you can achieve that same intial boost again if you ask for it the right way to the right person. 

I would not want to start a battle that would make my goals harder to achieve.

Maybe you should do "all of it" (just not at the same time) to achieve your goal.Where do you see yourself in say 10 years? 

Phew, definently a tough decision to make; I truly feel being a realtor would be great for me because I know I can achieve more and more clients over time.

Making it a one-year goal (for example) will help you to build a road map to achieve that goal; it will allow you to determine quarterly, monthly, etc. goals and steps to achieve that goal. 

I don't further investigate if the analysis doesn't offer at least 10-12% IRR (which is always my focus, much more than cash on cash, cap rate, etc) because anything below is achievable with less risk, less leverage and less stress with other financial investments.

My rules of thumb - that is, conservative, middle-of-the-road estimates on gross annual income - are as follows: 0-1BR $35k/yr, 2BR $45k/yr, 3BR $55k/yr, 4BR $70k/yr, 5BR $85k/yr  That's readily achievable for a middle-of-the-road cabin within 15-20 minutes of either downtown Pigeon Forge or downtown Gatlinburg if you're a competent manager.  

Would love to help you and your team work a way forward to achieve your goals.
