I’m not going to say “choose family over money” or vice versa. Obviously your dillemma exists because you want both but you’re finding that the two are mutually exclusive.

You certainly raise a good argument for selling a property – something I haven’t even considered until now. My main concern is, selling a house will only really increase my cashflow by around $3300 per year.
