Pay down my loan or save for the next investment?
I recently purchased my first home! Currently, I am living the townhouse I bought and plan on renting it out. I would like to either purchase an investment property and keep living in the current place, or house hack the next place and rent out the current. If I decide to go with option one I will need to save up a bit more and find a place with tenants to qualify. I am also renting out a room to a friend, so I have a bit of house hacking going on here. Anyways, now that you know a little bit about my situation, should I save up more now or spend a little more per month towards my principle? I have about $300-$450 per month to either save or pay the principle.
By the way, I could not have done my first deal without all of the great people here on BP! Thank you so much to everyone who has answered my questions! There is a lot of great content on here!
