Why take the risk???

We have sold (tax free), kept as long term and/or short term rentals as well.

He even chatted with me through this forum (Bigger Pockets) and was very encouraging that you can even do it just with free stuff out there.  

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile. 

I believe each can give a free trial

In very broken English:"No necessito, US has free food!

This doesn't mean I'm not exposed to tail risks that could demise my life, but I feel a lot more protected and have no real stress in my daily life. 

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

But if you want to free up resources for other opportunities or simplify things, selling might make more sense.
