Also, now you have a good chunk of change in equity that could give you a huge boost in wealth if you now use the money actively.

If you don't like the idea of giving up control, being an active investor might be better for you. 

That is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid.I don't want to be dependent on making money via active income for that long of a time, I want PASSIVE income.

I’m thinking of being active in wholesaling and flipping.  

Then I would focus on either the active side of investing with finding deals and providing value to other investors, with the possibility of partnering with them on a deal.

Send me the active, pending, and last 6 months of sold duplexes in my area.

If you sell, unless you put the money towards another income producing activity, then it stays stagnant and loses to inflation. 

Then add staging, and now into marketing, how to pump it out there for maximum exposure, now we are paying all these sites to list and promote, burning a few hundred on FB ad's, a few hundred on this site, a few hundred on that site.

Basically only NE Jackson has owner occ activity Sojac very little to none anymore all investors who are only going to pay for what ever the cash flow is and deduct for risk.

When I go to Tools/Pro Partners/Home Depot and click on "Activate Perks" it has me sign in to my Home Depot account.
