I sometimes feel sad too Hailey. At estate sales just about a life that has ended. And now all their beloved things are being sold. It's a normal part of life but it still feels sad even when they were a complete stranger.

On the flip house, it seems like finding the right tenant is the key factor…maybe there is someone through y’all’s church that could benefit from reasonable landlords? A touch under market rate - you are making money and you can help out families that need some stability.

Take if from an older person who did the rental homes thing, you will do much better selling that house and avoiding the extra stress. You already have one successful rental, but the more you have, the higher the chances of problems. God will continue blessing you because you give back to people and are not stingy. Best wishes in meeting or surpassing your goals.

[@FreewayFlippers]

I understand the going back and forth whether to sell or rent. We sold everything back in 2019 to full time RV. Looking back we regret selling vs renting. But on the other hand, it allowed us to RV full time and experience that lifestyle. Along with giving us the means to purchase the two houses we currently own (one we rent out). Our 5 year plan is to hit the road (again). We will keep & rent both houses to have a home base to come back to. I wouldn't be upset if it happened sooner! BTW - Mose needs to be in more videos... 😂

[@JamieMarieKY]

Getting your house paid off is a huge accomplishment for sure! My hubby and I are paying extra on our mortgage each month to try and get ours paid off sooner too! Keep doing what you are doing guys!

[@FlipForAdventure]

I love when yall talk about the personal side of things and your faith. Always inspiring.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

I’d sell the flip house, put the money towards paying down your main house. As for the 1st house as the mortgage is low I’d keep that rented, pay off the mortgage for the amount necessary each month on 1st house and put any extra towards mortgage on your main home. That way flip house is no longer a burden, your main home is paid down more, and your first home is ticking over, paying for itself and contributing towards your main home. You could always sell your 1st home at any point Make sure, being self employed you have life insurance cover in case something happens before you reach your goals

[@patcoll247]

If you sell the flip property you may have to pay a fairly high capital gains tax. If the point is to make money you might make more renting it.

[@ashleyhicks5615]

It's great to have goals. We are working on getting vehicles and mortgage paid off. I grew up cleaning and painting my grandparents rent houses. I saw so much filth that I swore I'd never have renters! It's amazing how much they can take advantage of elderly property owners. My advice is to get thorough background checks, employment verification, and a comprehensive contract. Be sure you know your rights as a landlord in your state and know that an attorney might be necessary for eviction or civil suits.

It's just incredible how you took a situation that wasn't so great, losing your job, and turning it to a full time business that eventually your wife was able to join you full time. I love that you both worked hard, took chances and grew your business and that you have been good stewards of your rewards. I think it's great that you are in a position to be generous and are of the mind set to know that it is important to be that way. Whatever you and Hailey choose to do you are already a huge success in my opinion. I hope God continues to bless you both.

As a realtor for over 20 years I would say keep the flip house as a rental so when you are retired, you have the choice to sell or to keep income coming in because when you are retired SS won’t be available! Better to have the option to cash out when the time is right!!

keep the flip house. having a monthly passive income from that investment is the best option. just save a part of that income for possible maintenance and other expenses for it. lastly just screen potential tenants thoroughly to save you the headache of dealing with them. great insight on you future plans! right now our family is just getting ready to have a big renovation with our house since it is already close to being 50 yrs old and its time for a big overhaul. :)

Keep the flip house and rent it, that is my vote, you can always try renting first, and if you have a bad experience you can sell it then after their lease is up

Hey, if you keep the house, you could use that money to gain from it and have someone help you guys on your the eBay side listing stuff.

Renting out a property can be great or it can become a nightmare. We lived 2 streets over from our daughter and son -in-law. They transferred due to the military. They had an awesome property manager with tons of experience. Then the renters from hell moved in. They paid their rent late every month, dogs were allowed with a pet deposit (they lied and said they didn’t have a dog and had a breed not allowed on the lease), after a few months they stopped paying. Long story short they were evicted. Found out they had electric and water shut off, a neighbor told us they had wild parties. My son-in-law was able to take time off and with all of us pitching in it cost them over $15,000 in repairs. They decided to sell after that. Oh and the renters used the property manager as a reference when they were trying to buy/fiance furniture from a local furniture store. She said she enjoyed telling them all about their payment history!!

Keep up the great work

[@debhoffman2436]

Just a thought...You stated your first house is at 3.2%, if your current house is a higher rate it would make more sense to pay that off before the original house. Then let the first house rent pay for that mortgage. Also, if the money you make from the flip house will gain a higher percentage unvested than if you pay off your house then let that make money for you. Lastly, if you rent the flip house then that's a solid money revenue too. You have a lot to think about, good luck. I always want to pay off stuff and be done with it but my husband has taught me this trick and it has benefitted us.
