I work from home a lot so hopefully I'll be there to supervise and make sure my stuff doesn't get stolen.
Then I would say you gotta rent for a bit. No point in selling high just to turn around and buy high.I thought about that, but i really dont want to ever deal with this place anymore. I wanna strike while the irons hot and get the most i can.
You can build a whole *** addition for 50k.
What are you trying to do?
Drywall? Waterproof? Insulation?
That seems like a lot of money.
I was actually in a similar situation. I ended up picking option 1.In a bit of a dilemma, hear me out NT brethren . Bought my place just over 2 years ago, its in a rough part of town but it was dirt cheap and i was sick of paying someone elses mortgage. I want to get out of here asap, especially with it being a sellers market and id come out on top with some nice profit, but on the flip side id be back out on the hunt with these insane inflated prices. Heres what ive been thinking:
Option 1: Sell my place and rent for a year or so and see if the market cools down a bit
Option 2: Sell my place and purchase another unit in a more desirable area knowing that ill be paying an inflated price
Option 3: Ride it out at my current place
Doesnt help that i live in seattle, its truly slim pickins here. Any advice would be appreciated.

My neighborhood began taking a turn. I loved being close to the city but not at the expense of safety for myself and my fam. I moved out of my home this weekend and into any apt. We are passing too much but I should walk away with six figures minimum for a house I bought 5 years ago.
Shoot (no pun), 2 years and 100K profit?! I'm getting the hell outta there man. Peace of mind>Glad to hear others in similar situations. My spots convenient as far as commuting goes, pretty centralized and close to everything. But there have been far too many shootings the past year. Last week someone dumped an entire clip in the complex next to me, that was last straw. I too would be walking away with 100k profit give or take. Appreciate the insight.
Ah man pacific highway s. Still remember driving down there with the homies way back in high school to look at all the hookers.I was leaning towards that.. i figured id make a killing on this dump and just sit on the equity for a bit.
Im currently in kent on the pac hwy side, im sure you know the deal lol. I wish i had property on BH, id be a millionaire lol.
