Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

Do that every 2+ years, sell tax free, repeat, and you can be set for life ("live in flips"). 

That buy and hold was an amazing ROI!

I seem to be “landlocked” for any borrowing at this time.I did go to the bank that holds three three commercial loans for my apartments.

Then I pay those loans off asap and repeat.

I am in the middle of finishing 2 flips there and have 2 long term Holds there as well. 

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment in Keene.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

If you are a buy and hold investor and have no plan to force equity that is a different story.

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.
