>S&P 500 has returned 12% over the last decade which nearly tripples any investment you made since 2014.All but one of my RE investments I achieved infinite return meaning after refi I extracted all value.  

I managed to do that through a combination of doing cosmetic updates and then refinancing out plus using cash flow to extract any remaining money left in the deals.If you want to be aggressive like that you'll probably be looking out-of-state.

That level of control includes the ability to control its appreciation for you to be able to extract and reinvest or grow your net worth.

in addition, you could have extracted value via a refi without being taxed at extraction for that money, 1031 to another property deferring the taxes, die and have the entire gain vanish for tax purposes.   

This is because all of my properties were financed extracting value between Dec 2020 and Dec 2021.  

Thus, your exit/extraction, with grant you all that money back TIMES 3-5.

Thanks for the shout-out, @Jay Hinrichs.Now that you advertised you have money to lend with no criteria, @Jeff Lawlor, you’ll hear from everyone and their brother, nationwide, looking to extract it from you.

You can find videos/articles online on how to get the basement dry, but the basic process is: 1) turn off all electric to the basement (to avoid electrocution from the water), 2) run pumps to get the standing water out of the basement (sounds like you're already doing this)3) remove all furniture and items from the basement,4) once you've pumped out the standing water from the basement, rent a wet/dry carpet cleaner/extractor from home depot, and use it to extract as much water as possible from the carpets (they'll be much lighter and easier to move once you get the water out). 5) After you've used the carpet extractor to get most of the water out of the carpet, remove all carpet and get it out of the house for drying (if you're trying to salvage the carpets), or throw the carpet out.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

Myself included, I'm one of the few here with nothing to sell but I've extracted so much info from the forums it'd be a fat lie if I said I'm all give, no take.Best thing to do is not use your real name too.
