Thomas Handy It's June 1, what have you done lately?

:1) Based off experiences with the type of SFR to invest; I'm thinking of moving my wife and I into a nicer suburb (housing ranges from 120k+, rents in the $1.2k-1.8k range) - but won't make the jump until I find something around 100-120k so I can rent it out in the future if I chose to move.If I did this, I would rent out my current townhome (purchased for $75k & built in 2003, rents for about 950-1100 in very desirable location in Jacksonville)...Option 2 would be based on trying to leverage more cashflow to help feed future investments:2) stay in my townhome, and drop 25% on a SFR around the 70-80k range that would rent for around $800-1k a month, but the homes in these areas would be ones built in the 1970s concrete block style.I feel like former option would best my investments for building wealth as I do not currently depend on real estate cash flow as a source of income.On the other hand it feels like having a starter investment that yields more cashflow would help seed future investments.Thoughts are always welcomed!
