I've navigated similar paths and found that each offers unique challenges and rewards.

As with any market, there are risks and rewards that need to be carefully considered.In the words of Wayne Gretzky, "I skate to where the puck is going to be."

You need to decide on your personal Risk/Reward dynamics.  

I own an appliance repair business and I have reaped the rewards over the years but it has gotten very hard to prosper.

Know how I'm going to reward their behavior? 

More control is usually more work but also more reward.

Talk to your CPA first to see if the rewards outweigh the costs.

They should be punished, not rewarded.....You're asking for advice, so here's mine - 1) fire these clowns, 2) get the project bid out yourself, 3) have the repairs done, 4) hire a new PM to manage your new property, 5) go relax and let the money roll in.....

People are migrating from STR to LTR, and those who stay with STR will be rewarded by time, if they keep their documents and licenses up to date.

They all have risks and rewards.
