You easiest but worst return would be selling (paying Uncle Sam) and dumping the funds into the stock market.

To be fair, the stock market was up about 20% last year. 

Invest in stocks or bonds, pay off other debt or , heck, enjoy spending some of your money.  

I’m making more than 50% of what I made in the stock market the last 5 years in the past 3 months with my first property… by just putting in 2 hours/week, if that.

Is there any way to avoid capital gains on selling company stock?

Futures are pointing to 3-4 Fed rate cuts as the likely scenario this year (down from up to 6-9 at the beginning of the year), which just so happens to be right at the target we predicted at the time. 😁 And I’m holding firm.

Don't leave out important amenities like blackout curtains if you're targeting travel nurses and make sure your kitchen area is adequately stocked. 

Stocks?

Almost all my money is liquid cash as of today, very little is in the stock market.

All faucets should be consistent and you will carry them in stock when you have scale.
