Who do they reach out to FIRST (realtor, estate liquidators, or )?

The purchase price, construction/labor costs, and ARV are all higher here in California than most states so I already have a high tolerance for risk and have the necessary liquidity to scale. 

Rolling an SDIRA back into a traditional IRA is possible but may involve liquidation costs and administrative complexities.

Repaying debt is not necessarily aligned with achieving financial freedom - true FI is cashflow coming from many assets - hopefully this illustrates how paying off debt drains your liquidity for down payments of money to buy said assets.

Especially in highly liquid markets. 

Of course, you also have limited liquidity and control.I am a full time passive investor, so I am clearly biased - but passive investing might at least be worth a look. 

If you need additional liquidity for other deals or if you could get a lower rate now, then it could make sense.

Single family homes are the most liquid, and small multifamily properties should have a better yield. 

The (loan) wholesalers still need to collaterize the Notes to regain their liquidity...

However, if interest rates continue to decline, I might consider refinancing some of them to improve my liquidity position.
