I took too long to get my property rent-ready, which led to a significant loss of potential revenue.

You can still find positive cash flow (aka the 1% rule) and amazing appreciation potential.

Very creative, but solid.This also may offer the potential for you to keep your other home and rent it out as an asset, but that's between you and the investor who buys your aunts home to subsequently rent it back to you. 

Seems like you are only 1-2 properties away from potentially replacing your civil engineering income.

Which means to me that Zillow is cracking down on people hunting for arbitrage on its platform.Consider that, and other potential barriers, when assessing your marketing tools.

But I still would not let potential renters in without someone there.

It sounds like you’re in a great position to succeed, given your extensive renovation expertise.As a fellow real estate investor, I completely understand how challenging it can be to choose the right design elements, especially when you want to make a space appealing to potential buyers.

But if you get a major expense you could then potentially have a decent amount of debt.

I’m thinking about selling it but wanted to hear your perspective, especially since the interest rate is so low at 4.75% & I don’t necessarily like the idea of selling an investment property but know my money could potentially be better elsewhere.
