What do you mean?

I got into real estate because I wanted to become my own boss, and I loved the idea of working for myself. I also really enjoy helping people find their dream homes, and I love the challenge of finding the perfect property for my clients.

It started for me because I love the business side of things and I enjoy working with people. I also like that real estate is always changing and there are always new challenges to take on.

Happy Holidays fishes!! I would love to hear some thoughts here..We bought our first home last year for 316K ( starter home) in MCOL city. The value is now over 400K and I have an equity of over 150K. We are thinking of moving to a different state.Should we rent this place ($2400/month) and with recent refinance my mortgage will be $1600/month(inclu pay all) or sell it to pull out equity for the new home in a different state? FYI: we have over 100K in cash to down payment.

Pros:

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
