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. 

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

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

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.

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.

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

I currently have an STR in the Poconos and I would recommend if you ever pick a home here to consider style. 

Don’t forget to plan for the future, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and celebrate small wins along the way—it’s all part of the journey!

@Devin James The 1 habit that changed my life is I started prioritizing wants vs needs. 

Basically could say im a street kid who abandoned all the ******** and people from that life two decades ago and I desired more and achieved it both in monetary and goodness.
