Devang,  We had a free & clear property that was vacant we were considering for rent; In my area we estimated it would rent for roughly $1k per month.

This allows our buyers to purchase the property, make the necessary improvements, and then choose to either rent it at market rate or sell it.Selling a property without providing at least two exit strategies for the buyer significantly decreases our pool of buyers.Feel free to reach out, you could send me the numbers and I can give you my opinion on what would be a good deal to a buyer with keeping the tenants. 

Especially for STR, you could literally put a sofa bed in the living room and accommodate extra guests (before you all scream, this is fairly common even in high end STRs and I've never heard of complaints, but feel free to cite other experiences).

If you've got good skills on Insta and TikTok and can build a brand there, that's free, and then you can link directly to your site.

No obligation, but lots of free advice and guidance.

Feel free to connect to directly discuss as well.Cheers!
