I've had some investments perform better than others but section 8 rentals were the one that were most challenging to sustainably operate and my worst performers over an extended period of time.

I know this is an unpopular opinion around here that you won’t see on the front page of the daily BiggerPockets newsletter, but it’s the truthI get where you're coming from, and I think you make some good points about the challenges of the short-term rental (STR) market right now—high housing prices, mortgage rates, and fierce competition.

Back in 2018, we encountered one of the most unusual title challenges we’ve ever faced while working on a multifamily wholesale deal.

I am finding the market challenging especially as it relates to cash flow.

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.

The problem is that it take far more effort to LIVE that dream that it is to wake up from that Dream.I teach Real Estate Investing on the side and I will tell you 95% of the students are sitting in class dreaming or pretending that they are improving their lives just by attending the class.In the end, they don't really study.I give a Spreadsheet exam at the end of a 12 week / 1 class per week session on building a 10 Year Pro-Forma business plan for your Real Estate and I will tell you 95% fail out right.Being in class is more about dreaming than it is about putting in the effort to learn the skills to be an Investor.

The original post leaves the door open for a challenge by the IRS, so the safe harbor of holding it for investment for two full years is the safer option.  

You gotta improve your value a few notches I think to justify 50%.
