With Amanda Frecks as a partner and a clear plan for strategic improvements, it was the perfect fit for a quick flip and profit.

Initially, our plan was to fix the drywall leaks, clean out the property, and relist it for a small profit.

Michelle Wang,With all due respect, you should make plans to be in another business once you're out of Real Estate Investing (Residential, Income Property).There are Members of our MassRealEstate dot net Association that come crying to me about similar situations as yours i.e.

I’m planning to relist the house around April when the market typically picks up.

@Anita Z.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

Affordability is no more that $4500 per month  morthage/taxes insurance. 

I would both buy a property to get your feet wet and at the same time make a plan to scale.  

If not I wouldn't bother selling as there is an incredible amount of money lost in buying and selling properties, so you have to make sure you have a plan to maximize the equity and actually have enough.
