To me the value in diversification is that it helps nudge you to look for other opportunities and revenue streams where you might otherwise just be content to stay in your lane and then you'd never find anything new. 

@Felicia Vinces it sounds like you missed our Year End Live show and Podcast of "Real Estate Notes Show' where 2 15 year experience note investors break down what makes a note valuable.  

I wanted a house for myself to live in and I had been living with parents for two years to save money.

I need a consistent partner who wholesales virtually in the Central Indiana market....Every deal ive ever closed was with someone that didnt live in my market......I am boots on the ground on steroids lol

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

Sure for most occupant home owners with no money in the stock market and cash tight perhaps (just my views mind you) use of their HELOC to have a house they live in paid off sooner makes perfect sense.
