Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!

Isn’t it bad enough that the State makes us upkeep and maintain our licenses.

Same for emails, voicemails and texts.It doesn't sound like you were represented by a buyer's agent and this is a perfect example of why a good Realtor is worth his weight in gold.
