You are already succeeding by living for free, which will increase what you can save for the next investment.1-2 years later, buy another one and turn the first property into a pure rental.

I’ve often found that a property’s best path forward isn’t always the most obvious.. sometimes letting go unlocks capital for the next wave of growth, sometimes holding tight after refinancing keeps that reliable monthly boost (from what I’ve heard).I had a friend who snagged a multi-family in a similar price range about a decade ago.. at the time, it felt like a giant step.

Also, any advice on managing budgets for PPC in the real estate sector would be really helpful.Thanks in advance for any insights.
