@James Hwang what’s the link to your Skool meeting?

I would have loved to have tried to meet up with him in person (if his schedule would have allowed).

@Derek FarmerDerek - My friend Dave Short has a Dinner with Dave meeting about once a month here in Indy.

The bay area has many old houses so be aware of what it will take to being them up to code and meet insurance requirements.

If the owner does not meet that residency requirement, another human being must be identified as the local agent in charge.

REI investing for almost 20 years, owning a wealth management company for 22 years, suffice it to say there has been a lot go data/spreadsheeting/tax analysis/meeting with my team go into this overall decision to sell the entire portfolio at once.  

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

•Likely, the new property wouldn’t be cashflow positive due to the market conditions.2.Upgrade to a Bigger Property and Sell•Sell our current home and move into a larger house to better meet our family’s needs.• Use some equity from the sale to make this transition smoother.I’m torn between maintaining our current home as an asset and buying  a new smaller house to use as a rental after we move back in versus simplifying and focusing on a single upgraded property Considering factors like market trends, potential equity growth, and quality of life, which path do you think would be most beneficial?
