The goal is to get to the point where we only manage our own.

I don't want to sell the property, however given the need to rent another place for my parents I can't afford to keep it solely on my own. 

I'm particularly passionate about owning long term rental properties and growing my portfolio.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I know the world of real estate is vast and still trying to find my passion.

There is no trick, think of it this way: you have a principal to pay off ($175k, so you could do 175 months x $1,000) and as long as you do the outstanding balance generates interest.Your mortgage payment is PITI, you always have TI, principal you pay in your own pocket and interest is a tax write-off.But from a cash flow point of view paying one off first is better, because you save both the principal and interest portion, which comes out to about $1050.

I've seen clients live upstairs and rent out the basement on Airbnb, so you get the best of both worlds, privacy and your own space while the lucrativeness of Airbnb, so you can definitely live for free or close to it with this strategy. 3) Combo - you can easily do both strategies if you find a house with a walkout basement or separate entrance to the basement, and if you and your significant other are willing, you can Airbnb the basement and then rent out the rooms upstairs.

Looking for advice on best strategy/next step following sale of a home we owned in Florida as an STR.Background: Sold 3bed/3bth home, have approx $600k equity.

I am trying to decide if this is a worthwhile endeavor.From what I have read, the main benefit is early access to MLS for purchasing homes and saving on commission costs while selling homes.This leads to two questions: - Is simply having early access to new listings worth $600, or is it only worthwhile if I plan on flipping and selling a property on my own?

The nice thing about them is there seasoning requirements are low and they hold all there own mortgages.

However, I have not built my team yet (real estate agent, lender, property manager), and I’m not sure about owning a property I cannot visit and monitor myself, given my inexperience as an investor.Economic Outlook: I’m a bit concerned about the economic outlook but can hold onto the property even with lower rent.My Questions:1- Should I sell the property now and look for better deals, considering the declining market trends and my decreasing cash flow?
