This is a relationship-based business.

The market is booming in both the business and real estate sectors.

As such, the guru is so successful with real estate, why are they taking time away from such a profitable, lucrative business to sell their secrets to others.  

But if you want to set up a business and manage other properties for fees, you have to be licensed.

Like any business, it has had its ups and downs.

After closing find a buyer for the unwanted property and conduct a partial release with my lender.I assume option 1 would require me to pay capital gains on the sale and I wouldn't have the ability to 1031 since I will not have owned the property longer than a year.

I have agreed to lend a friend who does fix and flips some cash for a property, with an agreement for a 10% ROI (I am lending 10k since this is my first time doing business with him, however I do trust him.)  

Then you will be well positioned to maximize the rates during your busy season.Alternatively if you list during busy season, you can get more bookings when traffic is up, but you will have to drop rates to compete with properties with ample reviews.No good answer, really as it is painful either way, but it is a preference on how you want to do it.

I don't know what you do for work, but I have seen individuals use a large nest egg from real estate to start a business and change their life trajectory.
