I am interested in your next meet up. Please add me to the list! Thanks!

Hello all!  I'd love some feedback on my situation.  I have a good amount of equity in my condo and am trying to figure out how to best use it!  The condo doesn't currently cash flow (it's not negative!) but the appreciation has been awesome.  I am a buy and hold investor and am trying to build a portfolio.  I don't have a lot of experience but have read a bunch of books, listened to podcasts and watched webinars.  I have a full time w2 job that pays well.  I do think the condo will continue to appreciate.  Renting it has been very easy and has had only minor repairs.  The price to sell the condo is currently at a 30 year high.  Decisions, decisions!!  Thanks in advance!

That's awesome!    Congratulations, you are an inspiration. Your hard work paid off!

Absolutely meet the dog!  So many rental properties don't allow pets...that may be why she is offering more money.  The proposed renter sounds great. I'd love to have her as a renter.  Trust your gut and go for it!

I think managing remotely is fine, as long as you have your team in place. I have been managing a rental in Hawaii from WA for more than 10 years. I also think you could find a property management company to find renters for you (for a fee) and then take over the day to day operations.

Please put me on the list for the next one!

I am considering GR for investment properties. SFH or multi. How's the market there? Any opinions?? Thanks!

@Jake Thomas. Thanks!  I'll keep you in mind.

@Bryan Otteson

Thanks so much for the tip.  I did try the search feature here on BP and didn't get any hits.  I'll try gts (google that "stuff")

@Dennis King Thank you for the 4 things you use for your decision making.  That will help me narrow my choices

@Chloe Belangia, I'll try that site!  Thanks.

@Mike D'Arrigo, Thank you.  I'll listen to your podcast.

Right now my top 2 are Spokane, WA and Grand Rapids, MI.

Sorry for the typo!
