It's somewhat ironic that I, being a tax professional, insist on pushing taxes into a secondary role, but I do.

I'm liquidating my rental portfolio and pivoting into debt investments and high dividend stocks (generally 10%+) as well as bonds giving high returns at maturity (more debt). 

Here are some considerations to help you decide how to proceed:Assess Your Financial Objectives: Ascertain your long-term financial goals and the role that real estate plays in your overall investment plan.

By having the students be the ones to actually make the deal and sign off on the due diligence, we find ourselves in much more of a coaching role rather than an investment firm.

@Mike MutabaziHi being a hard money lender myself typically your fico score and experience will play a big role.

Transitioning from the NFL to real estate is an impressive pivot, and diving into fix-and-flips is a great strategy for building a strong investment portfolio.

If you represent buyers for that project and get commissions as a realtor (and on top of it don't disclose it), it's promotion for all intents and purposes and against the rules so I was just warning you against that in a friendly manner (I'm not here to play the police and people can see through direct or hidden promotions it's not my role to judge for others). 

For anyone who has focused on just buyer agency, they will just have to pivot and adapt to the changing climate around them.

With so many buyers thinking agents suck or are out to screw them, this just eliminates the buyer's agent role...

Would you be able to pivot to an STR if the MTR demand is not there?
