I only ask because im wondering whether i should "buy-and-hold" or keep my money in my index fund.Thanks, and have a nice day!

And as I talked about in Bigger Pockets Podcast #82, imho capital gains tax should be indexed to inflation.

  =)  if you don't want to be active... they're a terrible option.i split my investments between index funds and individual properties. 

I out performed my broker by $50,000 by investing in 6 ETF Index funds - the ones Vanguard said were performing best if you want to know what my secret was!!!).

While paper equities had a great run in '23, I find the indexes very frothy and reduced out of those as well in my retirement accounts over the last couple weeks. 4 SS facilities sounds like a lot to sell. 

Is someone sell only a portion of a lot and not trying to get a new property index number?

If none of that resonates with you, go buy some index fund and get off this.

If you put it in an index fund, you might get 10-15%.

Cons: Added time and mental energyOption 6) Sell the entire portfolio and move cash to REIT index fund -- Pros: Eliminates all time requirement, Eliminates cash crunch, ~9% expected returns.
