Highly recommend you looking into a checkbook IRA instead of cashing out.Sure you can take out the principle since you’ve already paid taxes on it but this money is supposed to be for your retirement and in a Roth your real estate can grow tax free, though check with a CPA to see if STR will trigger UBIT in an IRA.

I have been using comps from the MLS but as the company grows, I dont have that advantage in other states.

Then rent the bigger home out using a property manager, allowing her to possibly cash flow and maintain that asset and let it continue to grow in value.Encourage her to consult with a CPA or tax attorney to explore the best strategy tailored to her situation.

Remember, confidence grows with each step, so take action and keep moving forward!

It'll take some time but I see Anthem and all around the plant growing significantly over the coming years, small multifam and sfh's may be a good buy up around there.

It is just another resource investors can use to get started and grow their portfolio.  

You get some of the strongest rent demand in the Phoenix area being closer to downtown, and then you position yourself for the upside of the growing North Phoenix economy with TSMC and other economic developments.If you want more info, I can send you the 3-5 most recent properties my clients have purchased in the last month for you to review.

It is exciting to think about having a big stack of cash to invest in something, but what if that something doesn't advance you the way your property does since it grows in value AND provides income.Maybe the $800/mo cash flow can be your seed money for stock you want to buy...? 

You may also want to look into 2-4 units as those are the easiest to finance and help you grow faster.

My oldest graduated from BSU (engineering) and has a stellar career, and my youngest went grade 7 - 12 here in Idaho so he got the full experience of what it's like to grow up in this great state.
