Hey there, I love your predicament because I am currently facing a similar situation, but I will offer my thought and what is motivating my decision. hopefully this could be helpful.we bought during the pandemic and locked in 2.25% rate. last thing I want to do is mess this rate. now with appreciation of almost $200,000 I am wondering what to do especially having created a new llc to focus on STR, flips,BRRRR and home maintenance. in taking this decision I believe you should consider location, which I think from your writeup suggest it's a strong area in terms of appreciation. next question is what market are you looking to invest in STR?

Would love to talk some through with you and see where we could help each other out!

I have these two listings that have strong upside, and I would love to buy them myself, but I don't have the capital.

Fixing appliances in my home is a bit different too because I'm ok with out a dishwasher or another appliance for some time while I work to resolve the issue, however I won't have that luxury with a rental property.

I would love to shadow someone for a day and learn as much as humanly possible.

They love me and are happy. 

The base plan for the tool that my team has created is $999/mo designed for real estate wholesalers and they love it.

Love it, except those things can be clunky and high maintenance to keep operational. 

Thank you Ben,I’m loving the community here.

Would love to connect with like minded folks.
