Flyer, if you rented your places on 12-month leases and used your additional time to work in the labor force, would you have a lower income?
I briefly tried doing short term furnished vacation rentals, and concluded the extra time it took me was not worth the extra income. Not even close.
If you are especially good at marketing, hospitality, and contractor management, and also like it, then sure. By that isn’t most people with 1 or 2 rental properties. And the original poster appeared to have little to no experience in property management.
Really if you have an extra SFH worth 1.6M, you are probably best off selling it unless you have some awesome low tax assessment/mortgage locked in you don’t want to lose. Few 1.6m SFH are renter-occupied for a reason.
