Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

I live about 20-25 minutes away in Bloomfield Township (Lake Geneva mailing address) and have a rental in Delavan. 

It's actually harder if you are currently living in the property, want to cash out, and then have it as a rental as you haven't proven to the bank that the property will cash flow $600 a month on top of the NEW mortgage costs. 1.

I lived there for 10 years.

Also something to note, I live in the North Fort Worth area and be aware that there is some school district drama brewing in Keller ISD that covers much of 76244 and 76248.

Hi Mathew,We live in Greensboro, which area of Greensboro is the house located in?

You can also do a live in flip where you use the equity to sell and reinvest down the road.

I am currently in the market to purchase a tri-plex with the plan to live in one unit, make upgrades, and rent the other two out.

I too live in Asheville, so Sapphire was closer than Cashiers and Highlands.

I have 2 properties now one I live in but Short Term Rent it when not home which is a lot.
