You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

As previously mentioned, Cash for Keys may be an option.

I would probably keep the other house regardless of what I do because of the low interest rate.I am now wondering if I should hire a Qualified Intermediary (my realtor calls this an "Accomodater") so I have the option to buy a one level rental, stay where I am at, and if in the future I am unable to live in the two level home I am currently living in (our second home that is my primary residence), convert the rental to a primary residence.

I'm not telling you NOT to improve/upgrade the property, but I'd exhaust all free/cheap options to market it as-is first.

The selling option on a short term property, for me, is paramount to going to the casino. 

I'm particularly interested in areas that haven't yet experienced a real estate boom but are on the cusp of growth.Additionally, I'm looking at options for managing these properties.

Hello everyone.I plan on househacking and, since multi-family is hard to come by, I have heard some people buy a SFH and live in the basement while renting out the rest of the home and renovate the basement in the process.To me it seems like it wouldn't really impact rent amounts too much unless I added bedrooms and I feel like the deal would already have to cash flow because of that I know this can be pretty nuanced but I am open to everyone's thoughts.Thank you!
