A local charity wants to rent my SFH in order to house up to 3 patients along with a 24 hr staff.

I'm just about to close on my first four-unit, which is probably typical of what is available in Maine, in this type of neighborhood, at this price point - which is old housing stock, tons of deferred/poorly done maintenance, and relatively high labor/construction costs. 

Should we sell the house for equity needed.We are in CA, I am co-signing my nephew’s home, currently paying $1500 mortgage monthly with 2.75% interest, it has 342K left on the loan.

I am open to investing in multi-family houses not only in California but also in the nearest states (AZ, NV, or WA). 

I keep my AC set at 68....when my wife bumps it to above 70 I get grouchy.

If they send me a housing request I message them back on FF.

Yesterday I just got with the sellers of this 4 bed, 2 bath house in Kilgore, Texas (close to Tyler) and I am looking at selling it to a cash investor to make a potential profit.

Pull out cash to buy new house and invest in others3.
