Don’t have another down payment saved at the moment but have some company stocks that will vest over the next few years that could amount to another down payment.

If your goal is to start accumulating property then keeping cash for down payments would be best imo!

You want to invest just to have a place to live and potentially offsetting your mortgage payment by renting out the vacated rooms or having x amount of cashflow in the future?

We're trying to decide if we should rent or sell.If we sell, we are looking to get most of our money back that we put in (down payment, small updates like paint and appliance purchases).

Personally, I love the Atlanta area for investing, I have a ton of clients who invest in Atlanta and in Baltimore and those areas seem to have a decent return on investment for flips even with having low down payments on the purchases. 

Total payments amounted to $900 for last year.

So now, i am considering selling it and paying off the majority of my first rental (I owe about $255k so i could payoff a big chunk and pay off the rest with added payments over a year or two), or put the money into stocks and grow it from there.

This is why I'm taking the route of a FHA loan since the flexibility on approval for self employed investors .Can I open an LLC to manage this 4 unit property ,so tenants can make payments to my LLC?

My current tenant is being evicted due to non-payment of rent, and the eviction hearing is set for mid February. 

This deal was financed with a 20 percent-down, 5.5% investment property loan from my own bank, with a giant balloon payment at the end of 6 years How did you add value to the deal?
