@Abel Eskinder since you're out of the country, you'll probably want to give some thought to our copy & paste info below:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

For instance, it may look like paying the $700 difference of renting your current property plus whatever your portion of the house hack would be (hopefully a significant amount less) and being similar to what you pay now or maybe a bit less depending on what you get for the house hack.

For the sake of trying to learn and picking your brain, why would it be better to keep one rental and upscale the other instead of selling both and getting a significantly more expensive piece of property and trying to significantly increase cash flow?

Be Ready to Walk AwayEven in a tough economy, it’s crucial not to overpay or settle for unfavorable terms: Stay Disciplined: Stick to your investment criteria, whether it’s cash flow, return on investment (ROI), or value-add potential.
