I'm not a huge fan of constant buying and selling - it's just too much damned work at this point in life - but for sure I would jettison anything that wasn't making an acceptable profit, and if you have any RE you should know this number. 

And yes, buy your own home/property, you will have much more control over your life. 

I’m ready to start investing in my personal life to achieve that financial freedom! 

The old adage is true in real estate as other aspects of life - if it seems to good to be true it probably is. 

Virtually everyone has used an electric range or oven in their life but lots of people have no experience at all with gas anything. 

CRAZY how life plays out, but buying this first property changed my life.

In your case, it sounds like a similar story.. you identified a property with potential, tackled the structural work, and brought it back to life in a way that justifies a higher price.

There is much to learn: pricing, marketing, screening, contract law, lease enforcement, late/unpaid rent, property abandonment, squatters, maintenance, tenant neglect or abuse, communication, and 417 other things.Buying a decent property but not managing it well can impact your finances, marriage, sanity, physical health, and desire to invest.

You get so much wealth and start getting older you enjoy the business but focus on quality of life more and memories. 

Imagine what your life would look like if you had held onto all that real estate from 20-30 years ago.
