I have an investment property I’ve been thinking about paying off free and clear. This would create ~$3,300 monthly income via rental income. The other option is to acquire a new single fam residence and rent it out - looking to create $1.5k income p/ month after all costs. I have $300k and need to decide where to create the most passive income now, that’s the goal. Can someone check the math and offer advice?

How much are you currently making in monthly profit with on the property you own?

If you have 300k I would go as far as to advise buying 2 property and putting 30% down. Would create more value and disperse risk.

Don’t pay off 2.5 in order to borrow at 6 or whatever.

Split to buy more rather than high equity in a single property. You end up probably equal in cashflow and much better off at sale. More headaches but diversified risk.

Is your investment property a condo? It might be worthwhile to invest in a condo vs a house. Less maintenance and will always rent out.

Current one is a townhome. Was looking for single fam options now to avoid HOAs. Not worried about vacancy, I’m evaluating large cities with high occupancy, semi-touristy areas as well for potential Airbnb

Have you done cost segregation already?

It’s an easy way to report losses on your taxes from your investment property. Happy to discuss further in pm

This isn’t a helpful response, but you’re in an amazing position and I am both jealous and happy for you! Keep up whatever you’re doing, I’m sure you’ll make the right decision
