Should I go ahead and install that?  

Remember to keep pushing forward and reach out for help with any questions or fine-tuning your game plan.Good luck!

As long as your out of pocket expense every month is equal to or less than what it would be if you rented somewhere else then you are still technically ahead of the game.

With the cash flow number and the potential equity gain every year you can calculate your estimated return on equity - my hunch is that with $500k in equity it will not be great return.Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have lived in the current house for at least 2 of the last 5 years and it has appreciated a lot while you have owned it then you can sell with little to no capital gains (there is a limit that you may be pushing with that much equity).For those reasons I would probably consider options that involve selling.

They may be paying down your mortgage, but if you sold that house and bought a rental in a good area that cash flows...you'd come out further ahead.

Also you have locations like SW phila that were heavily pushed onto investors chasing BRRRR.

Its not cost effective for him (even if billing by the hour) nor for the client to deal with it because most people just screw it up.I know there are lots of people pushing for self-directed accounts. 

This will push people into the market to buy, with this higher demand and after the 7-9 month supply that we already have starting to dwindle down I see prices rising in some markets.
