Quote from @Kevin Zmick: Deeply and truly appreciate everyone stepping in to provide advice.

When investing in real estate, having multiple exit strategies is key.For a single investment property, make sure the numbers work for both scenarios: 1️) If you decide to sell the home, the deal should produce a solid return. 2️) If you need to rent it out, the rental income should cover expenses and provide a profit.Flexibility is what saves you when things don’t turn out as planned.

As you speak with prospective guests, just ask them and do some QA testing.

Its like going shopping on black friday for something you do not need and saying "i saved $100", when its actually - you spent $400.Could that money be better invested and provide a return for you vs. putting it in a depreciating asset?

Also provide tons of good / detailed photos along with property details critical for the investor to make a decision. 

A cash-out refinance can provide liquidity while keeping the property, though it carries risks.

I sadly went through a brutal divorce, so I want to provide stability for my kids.
