I just won a 2014 Polaris Ranger 400 HO on a $25 raffle (it is a sidexside).  I have been trying to decide if I should keep it or sell it to help fund another housepurchase. The polaris is worth retail almost 9K out the door, I can probably actually sell it for closer to 7000

I am a strong believer in not having partnerships and not having mortgages

I own three properties right now with no debt on them. So I don't want to sell it and use the money for a down payment , I recently purchased a cbs house for 12,500. A few months ago, it is rented out for 650 a month right now,

The pros of keeping the Polaris are

-Using it to look at country properties I have recently became interested in, buying them cheap at tax deed sales and selling owner financing

-it's really great for family time

-I could potentially use it as a money generator by doing hayrides with it and my trailer.

The cons of keeping the polaris are

-Goes down in value

-Something good break on it

-To be missing out on rental income as I could use those monies to help buy a house, houses are cheap in my area,

This is a hard decision for me because I want to do both of them.

What do you guys think I should do?

I have done research on the Polaris Ranger 400 HO, some people love polaris, some people hate them
