Since you’re already networking and have some good realtor contacts, focus on narrowing down your investment strategy (like buy-and-hold or house hacking) and target markets with solid cash flow potential.

Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.

You can probably make up for the perceived loss through the reinvestment in your US business.

We walked through a property that we went into thinking we were not going to like it and we ended up loving it and jumping on it pretty quickly after because the seller was getting other cash offers and the price/location/set-up of the property just fit our situation well. 

Buying properties through non traditional channels.  4.

So, you’re at someone else’s expertise, decision making, experience, analytical skills, information flow, managerial capacity, oversight, etc.  

Would it make more sense to move the money we make from selling to a different property that could potentially increase our cash flow? 

With the equity you’d free up, paying off $50k in personal debt and boosting your credit score while freeing up $3k/month sounds like it could significantly lower your stress and open doors for future projects.That said, selling means you’d lose a cash-flowing asset, even if it’s not huge.

He is great with investors and can find deals that cash flow much easier, including some off market stuff.
