I am in the Alternative Investment space and help investors transition from active real estate to passive using trapped equity so it is driving me crazy to be sitting on a huge amount of trapped equity. 

I took a similar path when starting in RE, but I was born and raised here in AZ.

I don't know about all that.I honestly believe I was born to be a failure in life, and that's what I am in many ways.

While opinions may vary, I rely on data to help drive real estate decisions and planning.Key ConsiderationsEducational Attainment: 77008 boasts higher numbers of residents with bachelor's (12,241) and master's degrees (5,739) compared to 77063.Demographics: 77063 has a higher percentage of foreign-born residents (41.02%) which typically indicates a strong rental market and with 76.86% renter-occupied versus 32.60% in 77008.Economic Factors: Median income in 77008 is $140,609 with a low unemployment rate of 3.37%, whereas 77063 shows lower median income ($51,899), higher unemployment (9.99%), and more families below the poverty level (16.51%), which may indicate economic diversity but also potential rental payment risks​​.Age Distribution: 77008 has more middle-aged residents (35-54) [8970 compared to 6,115] and a slightly higher proportion of young adults (25-34) compared to 77063 but both are popular with younger adults suggesting strong rental markets equally exist.

@Don KonipolDefinitely short tactic don’t have time or patience to draw things out- just my style.Speaking of a few hundred years - what is crazy is president john Tyler born in 1790 one year after George washington was sworn in has grandchildren alive today….Yep grandchildren… useless fact of the day.

When I inspected the property it looked like a death trap due to code violations. 

Don't get too caught up in the over analysis trap, it is too easy to do that, there is a formula for everything these days.

.- Do not get caught in the analysis paralysis trap!

I remember a time back the folks at Bigger Pockets were promoting Josh Cantwell, Appearantly the guy has salesmanship but look up the details of what he offers and you will find he wants the best deals, a sure profit and at minimum 16% on his money, plus he gets you to do all of the leg work and contruction but he gets to select the deals and control all of the money. heheheh When Josh was just a young lad he was told that, "there is a sucker born every minute" then instructed to go out into the world and find them.

I was born outside Toronto and work with a lot of foreign investors in coastal OR & CA.
