.- We've upgraded 75% of the units with fresh flooring, paint, cabinets, countertops, and appliances as needed.When we took over the property the 16 units were producing around $9000/month in gross rent.I just checked our rent roll today, and we just crossed $17,000 in gross income monthly!

when I produced the document with his original signature, the judge immediately ruled in my favor. 

Being single, making $250k, having an ADU that I assume produces income...

We mass analyze the entire market here simultaneously and there are dozens of properties that would produce that type of income for less than $700K. 

I recommend you never sell a property unless you have a firm plan to invest the money in something that produces a better return or moves you closer to your goals.

RE is unlikely to produce similar return to that great decade for RE investors.  

One day you’ll tap into the equity and use it to purchase more income producing assets.

When I get to PA taxes, I see the deferred gain in Schedule D of PA-40 which is recognizable and producing a tax liability.

If you're open to out-of-state investing and looking for an inexpensive market that produces strong cash flow, I recommend checking out Cleveland, OH. 

SCENARIO: You quit your W-2, but you have $100,000 in cash and five single-family homes that produce $75,000 in cash flow and have $400,000 in equity.
