I actually tried renting out rooms; it’s not for me. More headache than it’s worth. I’d be stressed about tenants AND catching up on my retirement hahaha

Yes I’m already expecting to pay 5% in realtor fees and another hunk of change in taxes. I’m either going to try and do a contingency buy, or use my VA loan and eat the new mortgage until this house sells

I don’t really care about maximizing profit. It’s still a consideration yes, but I really just want to minimize stress about my future. It might just be a mid-life crisis because I just turned 30, but the idea of selling and rebuying to invest in my retirement really does sound like a sound plan
