I mean, I want the property to be convenient to my renters...but it doesn't have to fit my commute time.Buying a primary home that does NOT need work will open up so many other choices for me that will fit my personal needs.

For me the separate investment property was the right choice, when I was ready.   

But if you do not have another place to live, and have the income, I personally don't think selling is the best choice, either.First, it will generally cost between 7-9% to sell ($206k × .08 = ~$16,480), so you would most likely have to bring money to the table.

Other sourcesI see the same message in many other law firm advisories (here, and here, for example) and in an FAQ put out this week by the FDIC.Again, if you can pay, it might be smart to pay to avoid any risk of a hit to your future credit or lending ability.

You have the following choices- Do a video of the units & provide it to prospective tenants or ask your tenants to vacate for a showing.

I don't have much of a choice in NJ.

I want to make the right choice!

@Hunter Phillips yeah now is probably a pretty decent time to buy a primary as you will face very little competition from other owner occupants and many primary residence choices don't make great investments so you might not have much competition there either. 

Oh, even my own attorney felt I was smart keeping some properties in my own name since I can represent myself in court.

Also just wanting to make sure I do the first deal in a smart way!
