Jennifer - to me that seems like a pretty easy decision to sell it.You are making 20k - taxes on 600,000 value.

I think a lot of people make huge mistakes when they use too much leverage and are cash poor.

My main goal is to succeed at my niche and keep perfecting my strategy to make the process less riskier and potentially make smart decisions.

I respect yalls decision and look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Around this time a year ago I made the same decision, but I fizzled out pretty quickly.

They just took another 6 month option on the purchase of the land, this puts their decision, into the beginning of 2014.

Current lease information, etc to help make a decision.

Working full time, continuing your education, and building a RE empire on the side will keep you busy, but you will not be poor.

If they decide to move out earlier than that is their decision but the contract has an end date, the end of every month or what you agreed upon.

That older wood trim (pine, oak, etc) requires little to no maintenance.I've seen that trim in houses that are 60 years old and while the houses may have some significant issues, the trim still looks surprisingly good.My 2 cents would be to get another quote on the paint job without the doors or trim and see if the difference helps make your decision much easier.
