It just takes time for most investors to become “rich” off real estate.

I don't want to waste anyone's time providing quote after quote for me for the properties I am merely in the analysis stage with.

You can use this property to hedge any others that you add that may only cover themselves, or require supplement until they are paid off.HOWEVER, if you have decided that your goal is to use Real Estate as a stepping stone to build wealth by upgrading the property you hold each time (condo to house, house to 4-plex, 4-plex to 8 unit, etc) then I think you are right to sell now while you think the property is at the top of it's appreciation.It will be hard for anyone on BP to tell you what to do as we don't know your goal.You are right. 

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This time I acquired a property that needed little to no work.

My current internship in Dallas is going very well, and I expect to be back in the city full time in the summer of 2026.

@Sophanara Khoeun you mention that you have no time as you have a 9-5 job - so, do 99% of investors!

@Mindy PerryReally doesn't matter what software you pick as long as it has the features you want.Two biggest challenges with ALL software:1) None are perfect, so deal with the tradeoffs2) Most users rarely put in enough time to really understand how to utilize the software.
