With the consolidation of railroad companies over the years and the move to inter-modal shipping, there are a number of tracks that are no longer in use.

I'm working at building a decent buyers list at then onto the marketing, most likely direct mail and one other modality.  

Where I build, getting materials at a "Builder" price along with fairly cheap labor costs makes me think that unless the pre-fab manufacturer is down the street, the cost would be substantially higher...Now in "other" locations around the country this modality of construction could be cheaper.

Repositioning the cashflow from one property to another fit our investment plan as we wanted to keep the duplex long term, but two of the properties we pulled from were on the schedule to be 1031'ed and this was a great tax free way to put the money to work.If you have 80k lying around earning 2-5%, you might consider refinancing and using that to buy the loan down (depending on what return that gets you). the math will make it clear if that is a good idea.You can also look at other rental modalities (vacation rentals etc) that lead to higher cashflows although in honesty, that is basically like taking on another job, and with a new baby in the house, I wouldn't go there.#2.

Yes; this is all done in the best of intentions but has caused great imbalance in my own life as you are continuously told through many modalities to follow your passion or to find your WHY (just as long as this is not wealth creation).

The key as with any investment modality is to rely on "time." 

I'm entertaining this modality to reduce my stresses and increase my cash flow.

And investing modalities like Fundrise. 

Anytime a "pop-up" (modal) comes up on the site it does not have a "Submit" button, only an option to close it and discard.

I just see them as different modalities of selling.
