All of us are different, we all have different risk tolerances, different lifestyles, different worry points, different organizational skills, different levels of discipline.

It is always a good time to deploy capital if you are discipline and make good deals.

The key to FIRE is fiscal discipline and understanding how you're making money and where it's going.

If capital growth is the goal, then #1 is the most likely to produce that IF done with discipline.  

Selling would likely be the easiest but growing your net worth and accumulating wealth takes time and discipline otherwise everyone would be millionaires.

I suppose conventional wisdom would say in times of uncertainty it is prudent to maintain liquidity and discipline in terms of chasing deals.

I understand that partnering up with friends can be risky, but we are both very disciplined and have been interested in this for a while.

I have approached them in the past with possibly selling them the house they rent from me and they expressed interest but financially they are just not disciplined enough to fix their credit to the point of obtaining a mortgage to cash me out. 

Congratulations on all the handwork and discipline you did in getting your mind ready and capital ready.

Let’s say that theoretically I’ve gathered myself the necessary discipline and education to get into real estate, how do I even know if I have the potential at all.
