I have about $80k in a HELOC on my current home where I live.

I live on the main unit. 

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.

Yes, at first it is hard to find renters but because of my patience, trust, perseverance and dedication, I am now living my best life and living financially free.

Talk to a CPA to see how each scenario plays out.A 401K continues to grow in value, but what do you live on? 

I agree with Andrew’s comments particularly because this is a home you personally lived in and know intimately.

Quote from @Keyshawn Johnson: Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently living in Italy but will be moving to Florida soon, specifically to the Destin area.

I know becoming a part time agent is one way, but where we live in south Florida seems to be overfilled with agents and I don't think its a great fit for us right now.
