If I can get back to "paying back" the $130K faster with another asset, then I should pursue that other asset.I was thinking more cleanly within the lines of this specific property/investment.

We strategically improved the property with minimal investment, focusing on cleaning and minor updates to enhance its market appeal.

I don't think they'll make good wholesalers.I know 1 that works at Starbucks now, another started a house cleaning business. 

If you believe the market will recover, renting might help recoup some value, but if the ongoing loss is a burden, selling now may provide peace of mind and a clean slate for future investments.Have you checked what is your after tax impact of the loss?

Then I purchased rentals that are clean BRRRRs and grew my rental portfolio to over seven figures.

No thats a pretty harsh word.

The pests are likely caused by something the tenant is doing (not storing food properly, keeping the place clean, etc). 

Purchase price: $4,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Bought land with 5 mobile homes on it cleaned it up now it's my construction yard.I would like to buy the land behind me and convert it!

Knowing my end goal is to move to another state (Sperryville or Staunton, VA) and 3-4ish hours away to start a small hobby farm, does it make sense to pay off these properties rapidly in the next 5-6 years so that I have a total clean slate from a lending perspective in order to finance the land, house, and buildings, or does it not matter?

Then I purchased my own rentals that are all clean BRRRRs and grew my rental portfolio to over 7 figures.
