It’s becoming clear to me that relationships play a huge role, not just in getting started but in long-term success as well.

I'm seeing a lot of people lately trying to force themselves into house hacks without an immediate cash flow/equity play and "banking" on appreciation or rates dropping. 

Divorce - its easier if the house is in the divorce decree otherwise you need to play mediator between parties to come to an agreement. 

I'm retired and don't want to play the, Let's have a meeting before we have the meeting.

However, I received some feedback from one of my partners that the play here would be for an investor to subdivide or re plat the land for a multiple tenant situation.

Look, we were for most part playing a game of American Football for a long time.

I wonder if the disciplined, long-term play is better than having the cash now.

is this a long-term play or short term?   

Even as early as this August, they were supposed to send us our original investment back, and then it really took a turn last week and when I finally got Neal on a Zoom call, he was talking another 2 years before it all played out. 

So let's play this scenario as if you are actually legitimately selling your property, and you're selling it to an entity that is separate from you for tax purposes.
