Oh and I don't plan on buying both  ( I wish I could ) but as a beginner with no mentor  ( yet ) I wouldn't want to stretch myself to thin.

You can stretch your investment dollars much farther. 

To call it a bedroom was a bit of a stretch on the seller's part.

i like the solar thing more as i am more of a green person- Maine already has HUGE windmill project going on putting in 87 plus windmills across our middle stretch up to Canada.  

Holding the rental unit or B. selling it and diversifying my assets.Background: 3 Years ago I decided to hold onto a condo I owned, in Hoboken NJ, and turn it into a rental when I moved to a new primary residence.Although a stretch at the time it was the best financial decision I have made in my life.I see this as a great investment from a cash on cash investment standpoint, by holding the condo as a rental property the last 3 years I have had significant property value appreciation (~25%) along with great cash flow from the rental income.It's a great location, walkable neighborhood (1 square mile city), and I have found both tenants in <5days.With that said my new financial advisor has raised some concerns with how I am analyzing my investment return on the rental property.In addition he has concerns with my assets being heavily tied to real estate (between this rental property and my primary residence I have ~70% of my assets in RE).

Not the norm by any stretch. 

It is also what prevents you from sinking the ship on a bad stretch in the portfolio

I've spoken with several local real estate folks who have said the demand is now stretching as far as McKinney and Denton.

And because of many unique variables in the Bay (tech, foreign buyers, etc.) and other hot markets, I think the market cycle will be stretched, so unlikely to see a significant drop in pricing. 

And with only a handful of homes in our portfolio that are not far from each other, my staff is not stretched too thin.
