If anyone is getting cute in today's low liquidity and transactional volume times, then they need to be set straight.

If your goal is to scale and grow, you can control a lot of capital with $500k liquid...

I have fully liquidated funds from my 401K from a previous employer to purchase my rental.

It just happened that im in the process of purchasing 2 properties this month. 1 is a rehab, that I plan on keeping for my self for a bit then selling.. the other is an invest property non owner occupied thats a 3 familyThe rehab I need to purchase out cash 105k and another 15k-20k to repairThe rental property I need to put 25% down and closing is around 70kSo I need 175k to purchase and another 30k to repair both properties I have 90k in liquid in a savings account,  230k in a 401k made up of the funds and stock and about 330k in my companies stock account..My plan was and not sure if this is the smartest way .. hence why I'm asking here!

I do appreciate the value of liquid assets. 

When I grow up, I want to be like James.Rumors around Ohio circulate that James once killed 2 stones with 1 bird and when he crunches numbers on deals he is known to be the only one that can divide ZERO.I also heard that James makes onion's cry and uses pepper spray to spice up his steaks haha

I am planning on liquidating a couple of my properties to "start over" and see how I can better achieve my personal goal of attaining $5,000/month in positive cash flow and keep some money in the bank to be liquid.

The people who bought in 21/22 expecting to get rich quick had their bubble burst already and have already moved to LTR or liquidated at a small loss. 

Take in-place leases and expenses, forecast stabilized rents and expenses, understand the financing requirements (LTV, DSCR, reserves, net worth, liquidity covenants, etc).  

We have about $35k liquid for renovations and another $15k ish set aside for a down payment.
