Are you leaning toward a quick sale so you can focus on Oregon, or do you see potential in holding onto this Florida home as a cash flow play?

Hi Sean, Within my 20 years of experience, owning 30 properties and managing over 300, I’ve seen busy professionals like you scale successfully while working demanding W-2 jobs.

-there is tremendous demand for inventory among both primary buyers and investors. 

Currently, I’m actively expanding my portfolio in Austin, Tempa, Dallas, Houston, where I’ve seen significant growth and demand for multifamily housing.

Should I play harder and get into land development?  

You are working a demanding corporate job but also want to build rentals on the side.

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.

Not sure if you’re closer to Randolph, Lackland or Ft Sam Houston but this also plays into account on what rental amount you should look to achieve.

If first time home buyers are having a difficult time coming up with the funds for even the costs to play as a first time home buyer then are the non profits supposed to pay the buyers agent commission too? 

These areas tend to have more affordable properties compared to central Phoenix and still offer strong rental demand and appreciation potential.
