I see you have 27 contacts and 14 applications from zillow.Real Estate is about location/location/location, supply and demand.I have never offered $500 dollars off for the first month. 

You'll definitely get the long term appreciation in the San Diego market since our supply levels remain low which helps to insulate our market here, but it will be hard to cash flow on immediately unless you use one of the above strategies I mentioned. 

However, keeping the property and borrowing against the equity (via a cash-out refi or HELOC) allows you to maintain your tenant and rental income while leveraging the equity to expand.Key considerations:1031 Exchange: Great for avoiding capital gains taxes, but make sure the new property offers better returns or diversification to justify selling.Borrowing Against Equity: Keep the steady Denver appreciation and tenant while using the funds to acquire another property.

You're inspiring many others to do the same and follow the plan of 'slow and steady wins the race'.   

Houses more expensive but you can get some good deals and the rent is steady.

Inventory has held steady at around 5-6 months for some time now, with roughly 4% more active listings on the market in the metro now compared to November last year.

Multifamily offers steady income, scalability, and tax advantages, though it requires more upfront capital and management skills.

A question I have is, if i rent out the main unit that has 4BD-2B, is it better to get a long term renter with steady rent payments from them or rent out for airbnb?

We just have to hope mortgage rates decline a little bit in 2025 while the supply does not drop so that we can have more home sales in 2025 compared to 2024.

Since your metric is modest cash flow with long-term appreciation, focus on neighborhoods with a history of steady growth and tenant stability.As a realtor, you already have the skills to analyze deals—so trust your instincts and take action!
