Best use of real estate equity in today's market

[Kaushik Sarkar]

We have multiple single family homes on rental with stable tenants. Currently our rental real estate equity portfolio is somewhere in the range of $1.8 - $2M. Looking for ideas on how to leverage this equity to advance our investment portfolio.

In the current high interest market, is home equity loan still reasonable?

Should we think of Short term rental? ( some of our homes qualify in those counties)

Ideas on diversification outside of real estate?

Looking out for suggestions

I would say that you have a lot of opportunities for investing @Randall Alan explained well your financial strategies.

With respect to what strategies to choose is depending on what you are willing to learn.

STR depending the area is always a good strategy though you have to understand that is hospitality no real estate.

Outside it will depend on the country and your knowledge. Startup investing is good at this current market as there is no a lot of money so startup values are low. Though that is a risky bet in most cases if you don't know and you can lose everything that you invested in.
