Same advice here - sell. One more reason to consider selling is turning your personal residence into an investment property may cause you to lose tax benefits on capital gains after a certain amount of time. Sell and reinvest the cash.

Consider this, buy 1 rental per year for 10 years (see BRRRR strategy). Starting around year 5 you can sell one of your existing houses and use the proceeds to replace it with 2 more. At the end of 10 years you'll have 15 properties with cash flow and equity to build on. Run those numbers and plan how aggressive you want to run that strategy.

I've only had one person submit such an agreement and I laughed. First, most folks don't have the resources or ability to enforce it. Second, the wholesaler can always file a Memorandum of Contract. Third, if the deal makes sense we're signing a contract anyway. You'll probably run into that more with large wholesaling mills than smaller, local wholesalers.
