Is today a good time to sell

I own a property in the provo Ut area.  Its appreciated quite a bit, and I am currently wondering if its a good time to sell.  I have lived it in 2 of the past 5 years so I could avoid capital gains tax and probably walk away with 250k in cash.  The issues I see are that its going to be more expensive for me to get back into anything and I don't have a good place to put the money.  

I could pay off a few properties and get a more cash flow, or wait to see if there are any better deals popping up.  So I guess my question is if you could sell today would you, and what would you do with the cash?

Hey Zach this is the question everyone is asking. I think it all depends on your real estate goals. If you are able to take that $250k tax-free it is worth looking into. You would have to weigh your options and look and see what is the best fit for you. I would advise looking into investing out of state and seeing if you can get into an apartment with a good cash flow or maybe even investing in an LP fund and being hands-off. It all depends on the current cash flow the property has and your end goals. I hope this helps!

Feel free to message me and I would love to talk though different ideas and bounce ideas off each other.
