Quote from @Jonathan Greene: This is a silly question.

A young couple or family can still buy a house for $250k.Another top of mind examples is my wife's hometown of Bowling Green, KY - hour north of Nashville, growing, and still affordable.Or do what a buddy of mine just did - paid up for a 3 unit in a premier neighborhood in Boston.

No, no hourly "good enough" can compare, I know because I have faced off with them and man-alive I LOVE facing off with them because it's just a big green-light for me to take em to the cleaners. yeah, that's the truth of it.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Have you thought about selling the primary to see if you can split that into two investment properties or a multi instead since it seems like you can buy the next without selling that?
