It forces me to get real familiar with my business and how my properties are performing.

I second '@Bob Okenwas statement regarding market.Personally, I only buy old homes (circa 1900) and would not consider a newer build unless it was being practically given away.

On the flip side, saving for another property could delay financial stability if unexpected costs arise.A Balanced ApproachIf you’re still torn, consider a hybrid strategy:-Focus on maximizing your current STR’s performance.

If it’s cash flow, selling might make sense to reinvest in a better-performing asset.

I got about 1.2M sitting and would really like to put it to work, I only own 1 SFR in Staten Island.

Sometimes the market changes or can't absorb the rents that they want, so they issue concessions to make it appear as if it's performing as intended.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well. for RE agents I see absolutely no conflict.. its their job.. not every agent starting out can afford to buy a rental.. and note very agent even wants to own a rental ( like me) I only like to deal in land when I sold RE to the public .

It’s about staying compliant, keeping tenants happy, and ensuring your investment performs at its best.

I was able to build my personal ADUS back in 2022 and 2023 at $90 per sq ft, but I subbed a few more trades that I will be performing on my own on these next builds.
