Be rid of the toilets, trash, liability and management headaches.5) Liquidity and Diversification: Diversify your capital into multiple real estate markets, REITS, stocks, bonds, multiple funds.

And the housing stock in Miami is older and so much more expensive for what you get in comparison to new construction in Cape Coral.

This would not cost anything BUT tenants may be able to argue over bill more and I know RUBS has sometimes been outlawed in certain jurisdictions so would be less future proof.

If I, as a bond investor, am uncertain about what the future will bring, I might just sit on the sidelines and not invest.

i work full time too, so i can only do one big project at a time, and can only make about 1 offer every 1-2 months.my stock answer to anyone is to invest where they live - and for expensive metros that includes 1-2 hours out. 

Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

With the money from my savings and stocks I have about 100k . 

@Kenneth Joseph Perfido It really comes down to math and future goals.

One time I had a guest smoke and it went right up the ducts into my unit, it was awful.I'm conscious about how that could potentially affect guests who will be staying in the upper unit in the future.

When the housing market became seller friendly, I unloaded 5/6 of our long term rental units, paid off our house with that and invested in stocks and mutual funds…completely no fun, right??
