on the one hand, if you're happy with it, and you believe in this market, and this is what you wanted, great. the fact that you're asking the question shows that you're being thoughtful about it.with that said, it sounds like you're into the deal for almost $90K out of pocket, and so if you asked me if i would put $90K of my hard earned cash into a property to get $175 month, the answer is no.

One option could be using the equity in your business rather than cashing out entirely.

Fixing and flipping real estate has become one of the hottest ways to build wealth.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

If it is only one flip for now, I suggest you find a CPA just to advise you on State filing requirements, ensure you are claiming all write-offs and issuing 1099s, etc.

Hey BiggerPockets community,I’m in the process of defining my investment strategy, and I’d love to hear from those with more experience.I have enough capital to pursue one of these two paths:1️⃣ Build a Single-Family Home Portfolio: Gradually acquire around 20 SFHs using the BRRRR strategy or focusing on positive cash flow properties.

Worth using, but also worth dedicating some time to qualify the right one to work with (I work with a Bigger Pockets preferred lender, so I am not impartial!)
