I’d like the tenants to be able to stay until a new owner takes over.I own a ~1,015 sq ft, 3/1.5, single-family home with 1-car garage in Swansea.

That could leave you the emergency fund and money for a good used car.

And oftentimes they don’t make rent payments and hold you hostage to advance construction draws in order for them to give you back your own money as rent.

If I sell it, I can pay off my car and jump right into my first flip. 

1) As an agent put 3 more under contract this month for going into 20252) Cut internet and car insurance bill down3) Start prepping for tax time, organize expenses yay lol

The tenant babbles about a broken down car, hours got cut at work, or whatever his excuse is.

My guess is in that price range and limited window, you will not make enough additional appreciation to make renting it out make sense, so unless you planned on keeping it forever as a rental you are probably best off selling and cashing out.

Build up for your next investment.I'm not actually spending any of the investment money on myself for a car or vacation.

I have one fridge in storage as a tenant brought their own, so that is a mixed bag.Refrigerators and stoves are reasonably failure-proof appliances if you stay away from ice makers, water in door options, and other things that add complexity.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy bodybuilding, working on cars, and anything that keeps me physically active outdoors, which helps me remain grounded and focused.I'm looking forward to networking, exchanging ideas, and building lasting relationships in this community.
