@Geoff Engel depending on what amount of available cash you are starting with and what you ultimately want to achieve will help determine your path.

You do not need to take on new debt for the $450,000 reinvestment unless you choose to do so for other financial reasons.If you have further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

@Jordyn OhsThis is a loaded question as it really depends.

Plenty of other great groups depending on your focus.

Make sense with our need for inventory nationally, but this is also very market dependent.
