My experience is entirely in Cleveland, OH but I've heard Bentonville is providing good cash flow

This is because market cycles typically follow the same flow - Recession, then Recovery, then Expansion then Hypesupply, then Recession again.

What was the ARV, how did you refinance it, and what's the cash flow today? 

Also, if anyone has gone through a similar process before, what is the cleanest way to break from a management company that are currently managing several units of mine?

This means understanding what they hope to achieve through the transaction, whether it's growth, expansion, or a strategic partnership.

Either through 12 months rental payments, a utility bill, and/or a lease agreement. 

I like to meet the appraiser and give them what I think are solid comps when they go through the property.

If I rent it, it won't cash flow more than 2%, which is sort of ok as my goals is creating a portfolio of additional income for retirement (12 years from now)  If I sell it I will likley lose a little money ($5-$10k) I Used a VA loan to purchase zero down and will be living in it for 24 months while I do the rehab.purchase price $330K, rehab $15k, Estimated ARV is $370k.  

The property cash flowed well and covered our expenses in 2021 and 2022 with short-term rentals and about 80-85% business use, but it did not rent as well in 2023 (oversaturated rental market, change in travel restrictions, weather etc...) and dropped to about 65% business use and a negative cash flow of about $15K.
