If we include investments in mortgage loans (trust deeds), real estate partnerships, REITs as well as direct property ownership, I’m at about 80%.  

It’s not just the cash received at closing, you have to consider the mortgaged portion of the relinquished property. 

If you did not do a "wrap mortgage" or "mirror mortgage" to help them create "notes receivable income", they may need a cosigner to have enough income to qualify for their next mortgage.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well.

If I wasn't able to get the cash together, using a private lender would've been a good option.

If you want me to send you my link tree it will show upcoming events at my mortgage brokerage A and N (we host events with investor groups, and networking events weekly).

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

And hopefully I can be financially independent by paying the mortgage down eventually.

I really believe in my hometown and have a good grasp on it so up until now- I have simple bought whatever I could as soon as the bank would give me a mortgage.
