building equity is powerful. 

Will it be a property to live in yourself or to rent out, have you thought about any desired ROI, your buying power capabilities, etc.There are a lot of people in this post that can give you a hand of direction towards certain places/markets.  

That's the power of this method. 

This allows me more purchasing power and I still have peace of mind being able to see the property as I am just starting out and want to learn more, (rather than leave it to a management company).3.

ThanksIf that is the case it may be worth doing though for the power of google.

A HH/STR can be powerful in the right market.

My concern is their power.  

Reinvesting your profits quickly can lead to a compounding effect on your returns, compared to the slower growth from reinvesting your own cash after each project.Opportunity Cost: By using your own cash, you might miss out on other investment opportunities or market trends.

I think most of them are too immature and just don't want the responsibilities of growing up, like paying rent, power, food...  

I say it's time it liquidate 50%-75% of that portfolio, yes that's right 75% because that's only way to gain access to that full equity "power" potential.
