Liquidity: If this is your first or second property, prioritizing liquidity (by cashing out now) might allow you to seize unexpected opportunities, especially if you’re actively prospecting deals.Since you don’t have a deal lined up yet, you might explore options to minimize the gap, like prequalifying potential deals or using short-term financing strategies to bridge the 4 months.Good luck growing your portfolio!

@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

Other distractions include non income-producing activities - aka any distraction pulling you to do something other than speaking with and following up with people.How can I prepare myself?

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.
