I think both of your strategies have merit, but here’s my take based on what you’ve laid out.Moving to a rent-stabilized apartment and renting out your condo as a mid-term rental could be a smart pivot, especially with its location near a hospital and LGA.

It has reached a boiling point, that I cannot take it anymore.

Or any amount of cash you take out from the exchange are considered to be profit. 

I want to try and offset as much cost as possible without compromising quality so I’m looking for a GC mentor who could help me eat, breathe, sleep and wake GC lol.

We all wait with bated breath for the extensive thank you note they will write on their way out.

Try to put a bigger down payment in than you might need to give yourself some breathing room.2.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.Ashley

If you’re not able to, then it may be better to sell the condo, take the profit (if you have some equity in the condo) and put it into a multi-unit to househack again.

Focusing on A-B areas and taking a hands-on approach definitely helps with maximizing cash flow and equity.
