Their campus was one of the few things really propelling the near east side (luckily not the only thing) forward. 

Definitely no expert and still learning, but hopefully some of you find this useful and can pull something from this to use as a tool for a future deal and help propel you towards your goals.

@Joe VilleneuveGreat point 👌 the gain can potentially propel the OP to a next level investment but what is your take on the risk involved.Forvexanple say the next level investment ends up non performing while the sold property continues to grow in value.

I am a real estate agent, but also an investor and I can tell you that NOTHING has propelled my portfolio forward as fast as selling real estate so I could redeploy the equity. 

And it will propel everything after that. 

The key when your younger is to find partners that can help propel you to the top!

I think it will help propel my future properties. 

My wife and I house hacked 3 properties (2 duplexes, 1 triplex) in less than 3 years which really propelled our portfolio forward.The biggest benefits of a hack are: low down payment options, subsidized living costs to increase cashflow to increase the gap between your income and expenses, ability to get a HELOC while you're living on the property to acquire more properties and the learning opportunities especially if you're not familiar with leases, management, remodels, etc. 

I am looking to use this to propel myself into future rental property investments, many of which will not be house hacks. 

It was an excellent decision and propelled my investing.
