Of course I may be biased as a Realtor, but if I was in your shoes, I would likely use the homeowner tax exemption by selling the current property and buying another similar property in the area if you are happy with the current returns you are receiving (or if not, buying in a new area or property type).

Just a little disclaimer: I grew up in JC so these opinions might be biased

But I'm really biased!

Of course I am biased to the Tampa Bay Area, home of the Phillies Spring training!

Have family and friends in both.In general, I think Lowell has a lot more going for it (perhaps I'm biased).

Although you might think I have a biased opinion on the matter, as I am a real estate broker, the fact remains that most real estate brokers do not know how to analyze deals correctly.  

And finally how do you handle the gender situation?    

Of course, I'm an eastsider not a westsider so I have some inherit bias on the subject.

While I would agree with @Jeff Brower about getting a 4plex (I just bought one to owner occupy, so I'm kind of biased) I would have to stay that it really depends on YOUR end goals.

I’m biased as I’m in the industry, but it’s a no brained in the litigious society we live in.
