I would do the shower renovation first, then take the cashflow and stash it for a rehab after this tenant leaves. 

Unfortunately, there is not...unless you want to count gurus that charge you $10K/year to be a student, but they, themselves, don't really have the background necessary to advise (read some of the backgrounds of these jokers...really...you'll be stunned).

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

I've been stashing up cash for a little while in a HYSA and I really want to make a move, but I want to do it gradually instead of going all in.

I added RE into the portfolio as a way to really stash cash; there's an inflection point of a lack of homebuilding, laws against it, a devaluing dollar, and population not necessarily growth but saturation.

Note Flipping/brokering is overwhelming "side hussle" and you can quickly get stuck in becoming a "joker broker". 

Right now money markets and HYSAs are paying at or better than t-bills so  I'd stash my cf in a money market mutual fund. 

And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

And financial experts are asking me if the question is a joke? Really
