Good morning Ken,No offense taken,and yes bigger pockets should put the commonly asked questions up somewhere.I have been misinformed for years I guess lol.But thank you for the links you left,they explained quite a bit to me,enjoy the day!

You could always 1031 exchange into a DST now, enjoy your kids and family.

I occasionally enjoy co-hosting (splitting costs) for client events with a lending partner but that is pretty rare as most lenders just want to hold "first time home buyer" classes/events or co-brand online ads for home buyers.  

Still wanted to be close to CA and Lake Tahoe but have much more favorable tenant/landlord laws, property taxes DO NOT reassess on the sale, stable diversified job growth, population growth, land constraints force appreciation, and a ton of outdoor activities that I enjoy. 

Enjoy this next adventure and don't worry.

@Joe S. has the correct answer, but I will modify it slightly - "choose a degree that makes good money" but also that you are interested in or enjoy the field of study - I'd rather make less and enjoy what I do for my W-2 job than make a bit more and be miserable.   

However, I have enjoyed using Baselane for managing all of my properties.

It is a challenge but a fun one that myseslf and millions of others enjoy.
