Rodrigues I was wanting to continue living in the property.

Aside from that, we love this market and will continue to keep buying houses there.

I also understand that $100K in Cali is closer to about $40,000 with all your debt repayment, child support, etc., so its hard to save when there's nothing left. 

I would probably structure it as debt like a loan and possibly break it up into quarterly payments or whatever you think will work best for you as far as repayment. you can get creative....

You can continue to operate and if there is no fire and no decks collapse you are fine. 

Our lease on the rent house i'm staying in currently will be up 02/01/25 and I want to begin building my portfolio and not continue to rent. 

Do you have short-term capital to continue to invest in your next deal? 

Assisted living has historically outperformed most other real estate classes, have maintained incredible occupancy rates (despite the COVID blip), and continue strong rent growth.

I'm trying to decide the smart investment decision - continue renting it out at a lower rental rate OR selling it and trying to find a potentially better performing asset to re-invest those funds in.  

I understand fast solutions have slow problems.If I'm myself, I continue to lean into REI via BRRRs in growing areas of buying established but undervalue in very good areas to keep it a growing % of my portfolio.
