But I purchased land in cash and leveraged it to build a new construction stick built home.

This could allow you to use the full amount for purchasing real estate without needing to sell your stocks outright and incurring significant tax implications.

I'm currently in single family homes and apartment buildings in central and west Texas but have been evaluating a few residential assisted living homes + business / license to purchase in Austin and San Antonio.

(You said you could purchase them $20-$15,000 below market value. 

And what is your price range on the purchase price?

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

I'm looking for advice on whether I should purchase my father-in-law's 6 unit apartment in Burien, WA (10 minutes south of Seattle) as my first deal, or perhaps help find him a seller that would pay more than I could and is a couple years ahead of me in REI. 

With that in mind, I’m considering purchasing four rental units over the next four years to build a stream of income that could help supplement my retirement by age 68.The challenge I’m facing is that the deals I’ve come across so far don’t make financial sense.

Has anyone purchased Real Estate with cryptocurrency?

You get a Capitalization Rate (CAP Rate), which equals your annualized return by dividing the Net Operating Income (you had gross in your narrative) by the purchase price.
