Since that decoupling, there has been a long stream of "rah-rah" shows that IMO did not focus on ordinary people, bringing a sense of reality back to the process, and inspiring people not by stoking BS dreams of Grant Cardone (who's Grant Cardone, my long-running joke) but by highlighting how your any wo/man could do it, in a realistic way.

Although there are many issues and questions for you to knock out, the underlying question is to build or buy.Building or developing, you have two profit streams. 

To me the quadplex would be dual purpose, while you are not living there it serves as a reliable stream of income, once you move there, you could live in 1 of the units while you build your permanent home, and you could also use it for when your family comes over for large gatherings.A 2nd option might be to build an RV park, Unless their are zoning restrictions, you should be able to build one fairly inexpensive, with a septic system and either public water or a well, you can keep your costs to a minimum by doing gravel roads, which are easier to remove later if you don't want them. 

However, if you’re interested in maximizing your investment, multifamily properties offer multiple income streams and economies of scale.While current interest rates are a factor, the favorable conditions in Memphis may make it worthwhile to invest now.

Hi there,It sounds like you've built an incredibly diverse and successful portfolio, balancing multiple streams of income and managing your own rentals, which is no small feat.

Why kill that income stream with a refi?

Today I got a bill that is 100% more than what I used to pay - my blood was rushing- They increased my building coverage- They changed from "cash value" to "replacement value"These 2 updates that they made cost my portfolio to go double.

Personal Partnerships with someone you recently met are too risky for my blood.

I hope to never sell this cabin (nor likely any of my others), as they are providing a lifetime stream of income, a place to vacation, and will do the same for my kids and their kids one day.  

People gets locked inside factories in China to prevent thefts like they did  here in the US in the 1910s.Please keep in mind IF we all support oligopolies, the download/streaming business can end up like the internet server provider/cable business, where you and I have no real choice anymore.
