Not going to happen in my life, as it would be a major change, which I'm not willing to go thru.

You may do some research on what life is like on both ends and make a decision from there. 

Like many problems in life, the answer is "What do you want most?"

You need those cash reserves as an emergency fund that makes your life better and less stressful.

And you need to be sure they are a good fit with your lifestyle.

Anyway, I have a recurring character in my life...

STR Life- Remitting Tax I got a good question for the BP fam.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!

Good Morning @Michael Tempel I looked into CoStar, is this only for commercial style properties?  

If you don't then you can be more aggressive in minimizing equity and cash flow.What I've seen over the years is that this debate over style of investing has tended to mirror the life cycle stage of the investor.
