Hey @Sidney Duquette so I am not a fan of buying properties that can't perform with the hopes that it will build equity to offset the losses.

@Jerry Chilimidos,Here is a list of lenders who specialize in lending to IRAs and 401Ks:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...I don't know where your rentals are located and how they are performing but selling might be an option vs doing cash-out refi.I would certainly consider option C.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

Getting one property and cashflowing it will be a challenge. you can try seller financing but you are still going to be highly levered which just enhances the risk that you are taking on.The best way to grow is to focus on managing your rental, saving money through your W2 and crushing that - if you are a realtor you will make more crushing it as being a realtor than over leveraging real estate - then save for down payment and buy slowly. its not a rush.

Selling an existing, well-performing asset has some risks.  

Performed as the GC What was the outcome?

Build your team of players who are already performing the way you want to.

These are the top three features I always keep in mind when evaluating a potential property:1️⃣ Location Matters: Properties near attractions, with great walkability, or offering something unique—like a waterfront or mountain view—tend to perform better.
