You will gain a lot of experience and knowledge from a house hack with tenants so on your second property you will not make as many mistakes. 

I am currently reading some real estate book and gaining knowledge, however, I my lease will expire in a few months and this is just as a good time as any to first get out of being a renter. 

Is the income taxed on capital gains or on what?

(Disclosure: I have no financial gain/ties to Brian Burke other than to say that his teachings are fantastic!)

We had to take down a tree 2 weeks ago-a very large oak that split in half from its own weight.

@Kayla Carson, I'm guessing that house has appreciated quite a bit since you bought due to the pandemic, and if it's your personal residence, you'll be able to take those gains tax free up to $250k, so I wouldn't say it's too bad if that's the case

I used to buy undervalued properties/fixers and looked at the numbers like I'm planning to flip, but rather than sell and get killed with short term capital gains, I tend to rent out the properties to A plus tenants long enough to qualify for a 1031 exchange so that I can 1031 exchange to the next cinderella.

Take the gain now and keep rolling it into larger primary home.

I assume the debt should always be covered by tenants however more is needed to to gain the cashflow from a handful outright.
