The home is currently now worth about $525,000 due to the rapid appreciation we all encountered during the pandemic and we believe rent is pretty much capped for the area (class C area).

Money down the road from a historically steady 10% increase in stocks that you will pay taxes on to collect, or immediate cash flow with tax advantages and an annual appreciation of 3-5%.Feel free to dm me if you would like to chat more on the subject 

I have found that if its a good enough deal to flip , its a good deal to keep as a rental , sometimes better , as a rental you do a quick repair and cosmetic update and rent it out , and in maybe a couple year it has appreciated , you then do a remodel and sell and you have made much more 

I would first decide whether you want appreciation, cashflow, or a mix of both.

I’d appreciate your opinions as like I said I am new to this and I’m sure I still have a lot to learn.
