This couple decided to keep their first home while moving into a larger, more luxurious house. To generate additional income, they chose to rent out their original townhouse, fetching a steady $3,000 per month in rental income. For a while, their rental property was delivering a healthy positive cash flow, providing them with a financial cushion that aligned with their goals.

However, as time went by, interest rates started climbing, causing a significant impact on their rental property's cash flow. The couple began to question their initial decision: "Should we have sold our first house instead of keeping it? Are we making the right financial choices?"With concerns about their cash flow, they were seeking a solution to regain control of their financial stability.
