Hi Erica, what I've notice is that high-quality (high-priced) washer and dryers don't out perform other based price models in rentals. 

I would highly recommend you listen to all the podcasts from Kenny Bedwell - Cashflow Positive.

Let brokerage grow, tenants pay down mortgage, and save up for another property organically (Cons - slow growth, waisting equity// Pros - low risk)2) Cash out the $300k brokerage account, pay off the townhouse, start cash-flowing $2,400/mo, and save up for new investment or 1031 into multi family(Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, high Oregon income tax penalty, hard to find deals being $2,400 monthly cash flow) // Pros- cash flow, increased leverage into large investment)3) Cash out $300k brokerage and put into separate Multi Fam property, hoping for $2,400/mo+ cash flow, keep townhouse rented as is (Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, not utilizing equity PROs - increase portfolio value, higher upside with value add or rent increase on new units?)

It's in high demand so we booked in 2022 to secure our dates.

High rental demand (Section 8 too).

High rental demand (Section 8 too).

for me, the ones that cashflow the most are the ones that I bought with 3% long term debt, they were new (low maintenance) and they are in high appreciating areas(just a bonus but does not impact cashflow).

I highly recommend listing to @Dave Meyer's most recent on the market podcast! 

Prices are high, regulations favor tenants, and finding deals that truly pencil out can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.
