Once I start to get financials, I look forward to dieting them.And...

Yes, top ramen is one of my main diets lol!

There's a reason diet pills don't work. 

Try to keep your mind open to every thing so that you don't end up with a cup so full of knowledge that there is no room for more.Warning, if you are a newbie it may actually help to go on a info diet.

I spit diet Coke on mine reading your post!

Needs to go on a diet.

Hi Scott,It sounds like you are in a great financial position, congratulations on making it to where you are at.Now, regarding your questions, there are a lot of details about your situation that we don’t know, so remember there is no one “right” way.My opinions:- Keeping your house as a rental may be a short term plan, but the return is too low, that equity could be put to better use elsewhere- if Airbnb is the only way to make money, it’s probably not a great investment - I also went through a Dave Ramsey phase where I wanted to eradicate all debt, but your mortgage is cheap money @ 3.1%, so if your month to month financials are under control, which it sounds like they are, Is your “extra” money better used making 3.1% return by paying down your mortgage or investing it elsewhere In your situation I see two options I like:1) sell your house, if you got ~250K (I’m guessing from your post) you would net ~160-170K after mortgage and sales expenses, plus your 60K saved, you would have about 220K to work with I would want to hold some of the cash for an operating account ~3-5K per door, so if you hold back 20K for operating, You could buy up to $800K worth of property @25% down- Buy a multi family to house hackand, on the rest of your investments, if your local market does not offer good enough returns, consider investing somewhere else 2) you love your house, you don’t really want to moveLook at opening a home equity line of credit on your primary residence That could give you access to ~127.5K ((250K*0.75)-60K owed)127.5K+60K savings = 187.5K to work withRegardless of your decisions above, focus on buying good cash flowing deals Best of luck

I'm about to start a double flip so my exercise regimen and diet always suffers.

My biggest concern is eating the left overs fast enough to get back to a normal diet next week.  

After you have removed the source, then you can start eradicating the existing smell.
