It sounds like you’ve navigated some serious challenges while staying committed to your long-term investment goals, which is a testament to your resilience.The current market definitely presents challenges, but it also holds opportunities—especially for investors who take a strategic, long-term approach.

It should be relatively straightforward to begin discussing the goal-setting and planning process necessary to begin transitioning from current state to future state. 

Remember you can structure this any way you want to accomplish those goals.

My goal would be to be able to access those funds fairly quickly if more lending opportunities become available.

Since then, we've analyzed at least 75 deals across multiple markets, developed our buy box, and choose a strategy that aligns with our goals.

One of my goals is to go through my past tax returns, and figure the ROI my rental properties with taking into account the tax savings (I typically calculate the ROI on net cashflow at the end of the year)I have a W2 so I generally aim to maximize my pre-tax accounts - 401k, HSA, IRA to a backdoor Roth IRA, 529My "losses" would be passed forward since I don't qualify as a RE professional nor have active RE losses.

Choose a manager whose approach aligns with your investment goals, and remember—value matters more than cost.

They hope to move their investors into a similar deal with similar returns and keep their capital gains deferral going.

More effort should go into enforcing existing permitting laws and cracking down on unpermitted work rather than imposing costly regulations that push property owners into avoidance tactics.If the goal is to improve fire safety in Worcester’s aging multifamily housing stock, the best approach is to encourage full renovations that bring buildings up to modern safety standards—not to place additional financial burdens on responsible owners.
