Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

Life and business are complicated.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

My goal is financial freedom for my family and a life full of giving and serving.

Selling now could free up your equity, giving you the option to diversify into other investments or markets that align better with your new life on the East Coast.

This requires an income that allows you to maintain your standard of living throughout your life.

What market works for your life? 

Back in the world of 3% rates, you could get a HELOC instead of the primary mortgage and lower your daily balance and cut down the life of the loan significantly.  

Very little too almost nothing because look at there life.

My family has invested here my whole life and its been very good to us.
