I'm looking for advice on what I should choose. 

I get bombarded with inquiries and have lots to choose from.

@John Cooper when you or someone you care about is living in the home it is important to be extra vigilant in choosing tenants.

Then you could choose if you want to move into that next house and sell your current home with some tax benefits.

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.

Should you choose not to renew your current lease you will only have to pay the difference of the last month’s rent you originally paid. 1750-1495= $255.Current Rent: $1,750Increase: $119New Rent Rate: $1,869This increase takes effect the 1st day of November, 2023.We’ve been happy with you as a tenant and hope you continue to stay with us for a long time.

There are still people who are either young or fairly unsophisticated with money and choose to not use credit.

What factors should I prioritize when choosing the best approach for my future success in real estate? 

Can we all agree a dollar made in Austin TX or Bryan TX or Dallas TX or San Francisco CA, or Nashville TN or any where spends the same wherever you choose to spend that dollar.  

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.
