Hi Randall-Congratulations on buying a rental property well back in 2020.I am sorry to hear the property is now cashflow negative $200 a month.Your question is should you sell or continue to keep it with the negative cashflow.Depends on your personal goals and if being negative $200 a month plus any unexpected repairs or vacancies is affordable to you, but if you can solve the negative cashflow by turning the property into a furnished mid-term rental, for example, your future self may thank you.To Your Success!

The provider I am using allows for 60 days of continued coverage once construction. 

Our handyman team of 2 are moving out of state after working with us for almost 18 years to start/continue their real estate investment journey in a more affordable state. 

If you can continue to get an 11% return, I would stick with stocks.$500,000 will turn into $1,000,000 in less than 7 years.Great return and little to no work.You may want to consider spending $400,000 on stocks and $100,000 on a rental property.Take the $100,000 towards a property and see if you can make a return and handle the work involved.Best of luck!

You could certainly invest in other markets (that are not your primary residence), but you just are not allowed to use your VA loan entitlement.Happy to connect and continue to learn about real estate investing opportunities together!

I will continue my due diligence process and you both have helped me gain more confidence with my decision to start working with Praxis.

You say things like "It was understood that I would continue to utilize the garage and one room for storage as I transitioned to living out of state."

@Christian Hwangjust curious - if what you're doing is working, why not continue doing it?

Although there are advantages to waiting too, such as if interest rates continue to drop.
