Hey live in flippers, what happens when you like the house?!

Hi all,

We have just approached the last big project in our home. Adding a pair of basement bedrooms, and basement bath rehab. We would still have about 8 months left before we can sell (2 year min)

Our last couple homes have been 1940's, 800sq ft  cramped homes with two beds and single bathrooms and we are loving having something three times the square footage! Plus a garage that can house a full size truck and all my equipment. 

Has anyone else ever gotten too comfortable living on location? I'm not certain we would be ready to purchase a second home for an investment quite yet although we could be within a couple years. 

This home has been a huge undertaking with comparables showing lucrative results on the sale price

Would this be the time to assess our future, whether to sit tight and try to expand. Or keep the end results in sight and try not to get too attached?

Any insight into this moral delimna is greatly appreciated!
