So, hopefully that continues. 

I have considered it so it's something I will continue to look into. 

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan I proposed to my husband:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

I feel like a quitter, but I am not giving up on my dream and welcome all opportunities to learn and continue. 

Honestly I have loved it and we are working to continue to growing.

There's no guarantee that there will be more inventory in the spring, and you should just continue to look, and when the right opportunity comes up, just grab it regardless of the timeline. 

I definitely want to continue in my field—not just because I enjoy it, but also because it allows me to keep investing without dipping into the cash flow from my soon to be units.

I don't think the market will continue to appreciate as it has over the past few years and that equity isn't something I can realize until I sell the property which I don't plan to do. 

@Stephen Williams - Sadly Kenny Shaw and his team continue along this path.

The city’s robust economic growth and steady population influx continue to drive strong rental demand, making it an ideal choice for long-term investment success.Best of luck!
