Buying a portfolio might lead you to making decisions you don't have the experience and foresight to make well.

i think this is a decision only you can make. im in a similar boat (house hacking my primary) and considering renting the whole thing out to get a solo home for myself. certainly a lot of appeal in that, given how much work goes into the house hack. but whether or not the numbers on cash flow align is up to you. personally i dont think $150 (seems like about 12%?)

A turnover means repairs, painting, cleaning, marketing, vacancy time, and lost rent, so a small discount is often a better financial decision than churning tenants every year.There’s a lot more to consider, but these are some key lessons I’ve learned.

It might be a better decision to do a 75% Cashout Refinance.

There are still other factors to analyze before making that decision.

Now the decision between option 2 or 3 depends on a few variables.

I'm looking to make smart decisions for 2025, and this seems like a great place to start.

.❌ Less Control Over Tenants & Maintenance – You won’t be as involved in selecting tenants or overseeing repairs, which might lead to decisions you wouldn’t have made yourself.❌ Not All Property Managers Are Great – A bad property manager can neglect your property, overcharge for repairs, or poorly handle tenant relations, leading to unnecessary headaches.Which Option Is Right for You?
