Hey @Rose Dousuah,It would be difficult to guide or give an opinion on the best path to take if you don't share your goals with real estate.

It's good to talk to a Pro in the area in yoour case I would reach out to @Lucia Rushton.I know Lucia has helped several investors I know and having a good agent is a plus even if you have one now its still worth a quick call.
