Who can I hire to talk through this one financial decision for an hourly rate?

It was a great decision and I don't regret it!

I never regretted keeping my first house as a rental because it cash flowed very well from the beginning and as years passed and rent increased it became an outstanding decision .However, our home was significantly less expensive than yours.

Your decision on whether to investigate other investment prospects or reinvest in your current property can be influenced by the results of this appraisal.Hope this helps!

Best decision I made. 

I am helping a client who is also a Veteran to do this exact thing right now; at first he wasn't sure he wanted to move twice to make it happen, but when he realized he was going to basically get a cash flowing rental property for free(no money down) he realized it was an easy decision.

I started investing as an OOS investor here back in 2021 and haven't been disappointed with my decision. 

I've checked references and visited their work on other homes but am still agonizing over this decision.
