I am meeting with banks and some local connections I have with real estate agents to start getting a feel on my position financially as well as get a feel for the local market.

I'm a strong believer in keeping your people first and while the goal is to be able to have financial freedom so that I can travel around the world, I want to be able to make sure that I take care of home first and give back.I found a meetup in the next couple weeks actually and I am so excited to attend and network!

Offer your services as a financial analyst on a consulting basis. 

Get a rentroll, leases and financials and have an inspection done by a licensed inspector.

I have made my share of mistakes and they can be mentally draining and financially painful. 

I am a born and breed Rhode Islander, currently working as a Marketing Manager with strong ambitions to be financially free before I am 35 (currently 26).

You need to decide what marketing methods you want to employ given time and financial constraints. 

Hanging on to a property for any reason other than financial, is an emotional decision...or a bad poker move. 

It will largely depend on how strong your finances are, how good your relationship with the bank is and how strong the property looks financially

After that, it is only what your family is comfortable with financially.
