If you want to grow, then scaling within control is good.

Interest income is interest income, unless you decided to roll some of the current cash into a self directed IRA at which point your interest income would be deferred for a later time and allow your funds to grow tax free.

Decide then what to do BUT go 100% in on the stocks and grow that during it.

I can only think that this grows as we move into the typical buy/sell season.I assume that your buyer funnel is full, and a lot of people have the want to buy with a constraint or two (rate mostly) of some sorts and you're working with them to execute their purchase at the right time while working around their constraint.

Looking forward to learning and growing along the way.Best,Dan Hi Dan, welcome to the BP group, any certain type of RE investing appeal to you?

The end goal is to have a piece of land with multiple houses: one for my growing family but also a home for my mother in law.My mother in law has agreed to foot the money on a new property/land up front and when ready we can buy land from her to build/develop etc. 

My goal is to grow in the real estate space, and I plan to self-manage this property.

If it's managed well by a professional, you are more likely to succeed, grow an appreciation for it, and maybe take over management some day. 

He knows we plan on continuing to grow our portfolio.

The seller is open to seller financing, which presents an incredible opportunity to grow without traditional bank financing.
