I definitely will not be rolling that 401k into a future W-2 based 401k as I intend to shift those funds into real estate in one way or another.

I expect it to shift before year’s end though!

A true paradigm shift.  

I think you should shift the numbers a little more in your favor.

Shifting equities around can certainly overcome this. roadblocks just mean it requires a detour ;) ;)

Not my cup of tea, but Boston has a lot of great things going for it that in the long run I think you could make it work.If by multi-family though you mean a 5+ building that you're presumably going to look for in the Midwest or South...it's in its own bubble as a disturbingly large number of people who made bank in the last 10 years of the up market are shifting their focus to a larger scale asset and are purchasing these distressed properties which is driving cap rates down because people need a place just to park their cash. 

However, most investors I talk to go thru the SFR property experience and then after really understanding its limitations like a second job especially at turnover time (lack of scale, time, hassle) and then see they can get even better returns w/experts and save their weekends for more enjoyable family activities will do the shift. 

In our next property things will slightly shift so he is compensated more and as we got into our first day and I saw him in action- he knows his stuff.

There is a point when depreciation and cap ex is optimized or we see a shift in the  area or market cycle.But to be fair, I would love to see syndicators disclose their acquisition and disposition fees. 

I wouldn't mention the new shift to a different PM until after the closing.
