*INVESTING QUESTION* Rent long term VS Selling.
Hi BP members! Thank you in advance for any inputs.
I am the owner of 3 rental properties and I'm debating on what my next investment strategy moves should be. I'm fairly new in real estate investing and I been leaning towards selling all 3 properties before the end of 2017 and that is why I need advice from season experts in this area. All 3 properties are mortgaged, have decent equity built in, but my monthly net rental income margins are low for the time and money I have invested. My ultimate strategy is to increase my cash flow. Just seems my current model of renting is producing cash but a very slow pace. That is why I'm debating if selling, and then reinvest my invest strategy is just flipping properties, no rentals might be more profitable and I have experienced in completely rehabbing 2 of the 3 properties already.
