Selling my house. Now what

[Gary Gaziano]

So I bought my house in 2012 and currently have it under agreement for 30k over asking. I stand to make a nice profit. My plan is to move my family into a bigger house in a safer small town on the south shore of Massachusetts. I just started in the bigger pockets world so my head is spinning with all these thoughts on how to make a move into investing with some of my profits. I would house hack but it doesn’t seem like an option with a wife, four kids, and a dog. So in this market I feel I have no choice but to take on a much bigger mortgage. My question is am I making a bad decision? Am I missing something? Or should I just take the 50k I’ll have after in move and begin my investing career with that? Sorry for being long winded…. Curious on the communities thoughts
