I appreciate your time and this input.

Becca-Thanks for explaining this.  

How do I go about handling this situation?

For larger homes this will cost more.

Very interested in Rentals and wholesaling. im very excited to join this site - and would love to talk and learn more from you , I'm always eager to learn and meet new people . while I've been trying to get into the real estate world for a few years now - it's been a little bit tough, especially knowing where to start and how to go about it .

We know this because we stopped and asked the those tenants questions about rent, time of stay etc.

Currently it has this large single-family home that I am running as a STR (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1124648152156916536).

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

And is it more valuable than the upfront/ cash or equity you could gain?

In hindsight, this probably wasn't the right way to look at this, but we were counting on the cash flow from the rentals to offset some of the mortgage payments on our current home.
