We initially bought this property to hold it for a long time. We house hacked the property with the idea if living there for two years. We were able to buy a house after two years and keep this property as an investment.
Due to the current appreciation in this market, we decided to sell and move to something bigger. Currently looking for properties outside the Boise area.
