Weigh how much to lose over how much you have to gain.

@Roger HurleySince you’re married you get that entire gain tax free.

Sell now while the market is high and pay taxes on the gains and wait for the SD market to drop so I’m not buying at the top of the market. 4.

I want to have more saved for just in case expenses for life/a potential rental property but also want real time experience and I think this would be a great way to do it.Your absolutely right that real "pounding the pavement" experience is the best way to gain knowledge and I think it is a reasonable request which someone can say yes or no..however I dont think contacting random people who are investors on LinkedIn or online is the correct way to do it.

A 4 bedroom 2 bath home sells for roughly 575-600K and in the neighboring towns the same house can go for 750-850K so there is room for the house to gain more value.  

So Who Can Benefit?

With enough units you could benefit from discounts.I'll send you a direct message with more considerations when searching for a PM. 

I will try to convince daughter of the benefits of selling it short vs foreclosure, but i doubt she will cooperate. 

I'm actually in a similar boat as you Tyler; fairly new to the landlord industry (due to the nature of my job) and constantly looking for new resources that might be of some benefit.
