Newbie needs to know to buy or sell in Cincinnati Ohio

[Anna Taylor]

I am a first time home owner who has lucked out with the current value of my home. Bought 4 years ago in Cincinnati Ohio for $112,000 and we just got an offer for $260,000. I am interested in getting rental property as my husband is in property management and I did a lot of the rehab work on our current property. My question is, do we sell and then buy two properties, OR keep the current home, get a new appraisal, and use the equity to buy another property?
