Vacation-rental seller exit strategy

Seller-side vacation-rental pricing should reflect revenue history, permit risk, and the buyer work still left after closing.

Do not market the revenue file as friction-free if the permit story resets for the buyer.

Clean records, vendor notes, and maintenance history help a buyer underwrite faster.

A sale year can interact with depreciation, recapture, and the next acquisition plan.
