@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

If your properties are generating solid cash flow or have appreciated significantly, you might be following a “smart leverage” strategy, à la Grant Cardone.

Both allow you to avoid touching retirement funds while leveraging the value of your properties.

You're off to a great start by educating yourself and planning to attend meetups—that’s where the magic happens!

The fact that you’re leveraging your background in property management and deal analysis is huge, especially in a city where margins can be tight, but the upside is massive. 

I leveraged my owned land to build my personal home.

It's an education that Harvard, Yale or Stanford can not provide and it's FREE! 

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.

Also if any NJ agents that are familiar with using these and transitioning out of them can reach out for some advice and education that would be great seeing that I will need an investor Friendly agent over here to help guide me through everything.

I'll leverage accelerated depreciation for the tax benefit in the near-term.
