I'm not completely foreign to the construction process as I grew up around a family that was involved in home building, but due to living in another state I can't really lean on them for the direct, hands-on guidance. 

In the Dallas area, there are a handful of great agents you'll find through this feature. 

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

I started as an electrical engineer, but the entrepreneurial fire inside me couldn’t be ignored.

Tell us a little about what you are looking for to get started!

After doing some research, I became less convinced than I was to start with.

As you move into your townhouse in Odenton and eventually aim for multifamily properties, you might want to start refining your metrics (like cash-on-cash return and cap rate) to compare performance across different property types.Looking forward to seeing how your portfolio evolves.

What starts out as a delta ( wrapping the underlying and taking in the difference) started to break down ..

I've had several floor guys tell me this is the floor can't take another sanding..because the floorboards start to crack as they've been thinned from multiple sandings...it's also pine. 

Thanks Meghan, this would be my first purchase so looking to start with a smaller sq ft facility, around 50k.
