Think about where this country was 200 years ago and compare it to now.

@Robert Spiegel It’s great you’re thinking about this!

Bullet 1 points to the folly of this thinking.  

I think the best thing to do is live in one side and rent the other when your starting out, I wish I did.

Best of luck, and if I lived nearby I think I’d be bullish on, and potentially investing in the area as well! 

He and I created an LLC for NC a few years ago when we were thinking of buying a rental property there.

• Crowd-sourced projects (think Crowdstreet, Fundrise, Roofstock)• Moving into investment for 2 years and sell (seems extreme and low level of confidence in strong desired results.) • BBD - Bulk everything together into one large investment, cash-out refinance, rinse/repeat (seems like ongoing work like we have today.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

That’s what I was thinking, but just wanted to make sure and ask the more experienced!  

I don't even think she knew what I was talking about and she had a heavy accent and didn't seem to understand me very well.
