When the current crisis is over and lending normalizes at low rates (I am pretty sure they will not increase anytime soon), I can put mortgages on some cash properties without an impact in capital gains taxes or other taxes related to the successful completion of the exchange.I could and maybe should write a book about the other 997 lessons learned during the exchange, some important and some others of the kind that would have made life easier had I been aware well in advance.The main question to contemplate is what your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) in this context really is.

I'm contemplating on becoming a realtor or not.

Contemplating a move to Dallas, so one question for the board, if I am licensed in CA, am I only limited to CA transactions?

It was nice to slow down for a while but I eventually started two more businesses to go along with our real estate businesses.It took a little time but I now have a very nice blend of free time and productive activity.My advice is to spend some time contemplating how you are going to spend your "post financial independence time."
