I wonder if it's worth it to sell shares pay the 15% capital gains and pay off the mortgage.

Those who paid $220k for a $200k house that is now worth $180k and costs continue to climb are gonna be stuck.

Based on my analysis, the ARV looks to be in the $720-740K range, and after running the numbers, I anticipate a profit of about $40K including all the junk fees and agent fees.A couple of things I’d love your input on:Do you think it’s worth getting another quote from a different GC?

An argument can be made that you will generate a higher net worth there than say middle of nowhere Alabama.3.

Any underrated markets worth exploring?

In other words, take your $172K and leverage it into $688K worth of rental property.

I’ll be honest it’s not clear to me real estate is necessarily a better investment than say the stock market, certainly not a bad investment but not as hyped as some people make it, you need to decide how much owning your own home is worth to you & also how long you plan to be in the area, if you will be here for the foreseeable future, bite the bullet and buy, if your not sure where you will be in a few years, renting might make more sense.

However, chances of making a mistake or overlooking an opportunity to save are higher when it comes to rentals.The dilemma is whether it's worth paying a professional in this case.

I was approached by Avantstay and wondered if anyone in this forum has had experience with them from owner point of view.
