*Credit is low to mid 600s due to high credit utilization as a result of covid.

I have a home that is an STR in a highly desirable tourist destination.

I am looking for an appreciation and to cover most of my mortgage.Also any tips how much such reno could cost are highly appreciated.thank you

Granted the tenants aren't the best quality, their list of complaints is every-ready and I have put them on notice to evict.

This can get complicated if you are racing against time between getting it sold versus the banks take over.Can you get it sold at a high enough price to pay off the mortgage or is the owner under water?

Opting for a DST allows investors to spread their investments across multiple high-quality properties, benefiting from the advantages of a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains tax.

Replies are highly thanked.

You can reach out to your local (state) Self Storage Association, peruse topics on You Tube, and certainly many, many forums here on Biggerpockets with quality folks & quality content.Regardless, of how you piece your learning together, everything (soup to nuts) for an Acquisition is either FINDING a lead, EVALUATING to determine if it's a deal, now you're in the PURCHASING phase, and after you close, now it's all about MANAGING.If you think that at times it makes more sense to build than to buy, then you'll want to learn about Development & Conversions.  

Let's assume you did put a high down payment, on a refinance lenders will cap you at 80% of the new appraised value, leaving you with little to no money on a cash out refinance.
