Better cash flowing choices may not be preferred living for a year or two and a higher quality building might be to expensive, and you are now covering part of your mortgage.

I'll probably be here for another year or two, but I'll keep the property when I do find my next step, and aim for Mid Term rental, to get the higher income. 

I want to share my story and make it aware to others but also looking for opinions and thoughts. i purchased two properties in broward county florida from the foreclosure website auction.

Two factors that stood out to us was a beautiful willow tree outback and an open concept living area.

Have all the applicants or potential applicants check out the property between a hour or two timeframe.

Two high level quotes come to mind "Let your winners ride" and "a great value asset at a fair price is much better than a fair value asset at a great price".

Two nights ago I FINALLY found my first comp and realized my rents are now $400 under market value and I’m now locked into leases until next November.

The house is currently gutted, and while I would like to occupy one bedroom and rent the other two (3bd/3.5ba) as a "househack", I am willing to consider selling and foregoing this as a primary residence as I know many private lenders will not consider any form of owner occupancy.

These are two completely different investment strategies.
