If you sell all and realize massive gains in the same calendar year, you will limit your options to re-deploy that capital.  

Hello--I have a small self-directed IRA, $20,000.Were it yours, how would you deploy it?

MF works better with larger chunks of money (50k or more) since it would be challenging to deploy 50k all at once in rental houses, whereas in MF you can deploy it easily in a single property. 

Yea, it sucks getting 1% or less on your money but having that dry powder to deploy when you find a deal can pay off huge in the end.

Military Deployment Orders / PCS:The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA)is a law that is intended to help protect the legal rights of members called to active duty.

You should have no trouble deploying that equity to get a stronger return in other ways. 

My wife recently moved to Huntsville (I am currently deployed).  

It's a really good move, if you can maximize the efficient deployment of that capital.

    (3.5 percent down FHA) is only ~15k   and 55K could be deployed elsewhere.that said, even if you dont live there...
