This will build naturally and organically.When I started, I had nothing, knew nothing, and knew no one. 

When it comes to real estate, here's a general list of eligible assets and their depreciable lifespans that you should know: Residential Rental Property = 27.5 yearsThis includes any building or structure where 80% or more of its gross rental income is from residential units.That means:- Apartment buildings- Single-family rental homes- Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes- Mobile homes (used for residential rental)- Any kind of residential lodging facility where the primary purpose is long-term rentalCommercial Property = 39 yearsThis includes non-residential properties like:-Office buildings-Retail stores and shopping centers-Warehouses-Industrial complexes-Hotels and motels that do not qualify as residential rental propertyLand Improvements = 15 yearsThese include sidewalks, roads, fencing, some landscaping, and parking lots that are separate from the building.Personal Property = 5 or 7 yearsPersonal property used in a rental activity usually has a 5 or 7-year life.This includes most furniture, appliances, carpeting and various machinery.Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) = 15 yearsGenerally, this includes any improvements made to the interior of a non-residential building after the building was placed in service, excluding elevators, enlargements, and the internal structural framework.Computers and Related Peripheral Equipment = 5 yearsVehicles = 5 yearsNote that the land itself is not depreciable.

It’s a way to earn solid interest returns without owning property.Keep Riding the Stock Market – If your stock investments are performing well and you enjoy the passive nature of it, you could consider leveraging your equity via a HELOC or cash-out refi to invest more without selling the property.Alternative Asset Classes – If you want diversification, look into things like farmland investing (e.g., AcreTrader), fractional ownership in vacation rentals (e.g., Arrived), or even short-term storage units.It all comes down to your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and how involved (or uninvolved) you want to be.

Lots of natural light.
