I am looking to find collaborators to execute an investment strategy around the new missing middle housing laws and the opportunities they make possible. 

Nobody prioritizes you quite like you, and I'm never using this title company again.                

First, let's start with your goals: do you prioritize appreciation or cash flow more?  

I realize I should have the reserves on hand to not have to liquidate stock but I’ve prioritized the house hack work over the roof for the short term and now considering changing direction based on this new information I just read.

@Travis FranzoyI'd prioritize the networking a little more and spend some time within your marriage talking about what you want out of this experience.

Invest in assets that leverage inflation.As consumers prioritize their expenditures less towards luxuries and more towards necessities, investments in tangible assets that revolve around consumers' needs and not wants are what will best insulate a portfolio against the corrosive effects of inflation.The ideal asset will generate recession-proof income while appreciating in step with inflation.

I know when a deal actually comes across my desk that I would need to collaborate and agree on the ARV.

What often occurs in these scenarios is that the investor loses sight of the deal of the investment itself - prioritizing saving on taxes over making a good investment.Tax plan yes, look for opportunities to minimize taxes, but never lose of the deal itself.

Given the incredibly low interest now, would it make sense to prioritize paying as much mortgage amount as I could in 5-years time?

but more interested in collaborators and experience..
