@Quinn DudekInstead of forcing appreciation through rehabbing, you could force appreciation through increasing NOI, ie increasing revenue or decreasing expenses.You could also look at using creative financing.

A 30-year amortization would decrease your monthly mortgage expense a little bit (though the higher interest rate will also increase it, so you'd have to factor those things to see if they make a difference). 

Demand there has decreased, not because there are less people going, but because that market got oversaturated by STR investors.

For years paying the bill wasn’t an issue.However, as inventory has ballooned, prices have decreased.

As your family grows, the ability to pick up and move decreases, especially once the little one is in school. 

There's a poll going on in these forums, and most of you believe that mortgage rates will decrease in 2024. 

@Jannet Matthew switching utilities over to the tenant can be a great to decrease expenses for a property.

@Brian Szykowny, Your workload relative to income should decrease along with some other scaling. 

That obviously decreases the value of the property for investor buyers because they'll be the ones handling the rent increases after the closing.Even if you're not planning to sell anytime soon, you want to start increasing rents slowly.

Doing a 40 year term as well, your payment does not decrease significantly from a 30 year due to the additional interest charges.Option 4: Of the 4 options presented, this appears like the choice I would make.
