A financial advisor or real estate pro could help you map it all out more concretely.If I were in your shoes, I'd probably lean towards selling and reinvesting into some more diverse assets, or just more properties, but that's just me. 

With rent control in NJ, yeah, it’s mostly a waiting game if tenants don’t leave.

Oregon is a diverse real estate market with a lot to offer but not a lot of established property inventory for sale.

So it's a waiting game for that property until you have enough to do a cash out refi.

Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

You don't want to be so focused on getting into the game that you leverage the start of your entire life just to do it.

Quote from @Scott Hertzog: Hey everyone,I am coming into this game a little later in life.

A borrower really needs to have at least some "skin in the game" to make lenders feel comfortable.

With a dynamic real estate market, diverse neighborhoods, and high rental demand, Chicago is a fantastic place to invest in house hacking. 

Duluth's housing is incredibly diverse from a sub-market standpoint.
