If you do sell, you might consider 1031 exchanges to reinvest into higher-yielding assets or diversify into less hands-on investments (e.g., syndications, REITs, etc.).

As @Ryan Coon has mentioned, a cost seg study may be viable if you qualify for the STR loophole.

With this strategy, you don't need to qualify as REPS to be able to take your real-estate losses. You can qualify for this by:

  1. Having tenants for 7 days or less at a time.
  2. Materially participate, typically with the test: You participated in the activity for more than 100 hours during the tax year, and you participated at least as much as any other individual (including individuals who didn’t own any interest in the activity) for the year.

Here's a helpful article that covers material participation and other options if you don't have REPS https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1198185-how-c...
