I feel like having such a low payment and rate make it stupid to choose selling the house, but since I haven't been in this position before, I thought I'd ask here. to d The other consideration you would want to consider is your VA entitlement if you are hoping to buy the next house with a VA loan.

 @Raif Jochim without knowing details of each loan, I would almost always choose the primary home.

There are many good companies around to choose from.  

If you choose to move forward, I recommend having a backup plan in case Hawaii outright bans STR.

On top of this if at all possible I’d recommend choosing specific neighborhoods to become an expert on as opposed to just thinking “anywhere in the San Antonio market could work”.

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

Or like many like to go to and claim Ponzi.I think these are good discussions to have for investors when the market has shifted and choosing a sponsor is so critical and one cant invest simply on popularity or SM presence.

Miami is still doing well, Fort Myers is adjusting and has lower real estate than 12 months ago, etc..)My simple thought, for what it is worth, is choose a place to live and not invest in:  choose the location you and your family WANT to live in ( because of the schools, taxes, weather, other family there, etc...) and then buy and do real estate there (and get whatever licenses you need once you start third party management).I wish you well!

And even if the tenants chooses to stay in your property for 2yrs, the damage they may cause will eat away all of your cash flow and leave you potentially upside down.

This applies regardless of the type of deduction you choose to take for the vehicle.If section 179 doesn't work in your situation, there is bonus depreciation, which allows for a deduction of up to about $20k of the value of the vehicle for 2024.
