Samantha 和她的丈夫拥有两处度假出租屋。第一处房产于 2020 年购入，每年净收入 10,000 至 14,000 美元，拥有约 80,000 美元的净值，且易于维护。第二处房产于 2023 年购入，更具挑战性。他们几乎没有净值，因为他们使用了 60,000 美元的房屋净值贷款作为首付。他们预计未来两到三年内不会有任何利润，并且不清楚如何或何时能够偿还这笔贷款。由于Samantha 的旧职位被意外终止，她现在从事一份收入较低的新工作，而她丈夫也换了工作，薪水减半，因此他们面临财务压力。Paula 建议Samantha 评估房产的投资回报率，并考虑是否出售第二套房产或完全退出租赁市场。Joe 则认为现金流状况非常重要，建议出售第二套房产以缓解财务压力。
