During the last two years we have probably not “Gained” $2mm in profit or equity because we took a defensive approach.  

Mixed-use with some residential could also add diversification while keeping it simple.This current property is actually the storefront of a mix-use residential above, but no actual residential property for purchase.What’s the tenant mix like,Theee major ones: One restaurant, one non-profit gallery, one home goods,and how are you structuring financing?

Caveat is that you should be reinvesting those profits back into other smart investments so that you aren't missing out on compounding gains. 

But secondly, we already build our profits into the deals and we made probably 160k among those 3 properties over a 3 year period of time with very little effort to manage once the tenant buyers were placed into the home.So yes, it is possible to make lease options very beneficial to everyone.YUP timing is important..

All of your profit stayed inside the SDIRA and remained tax deferred there. 

The baked in assumption to "continued cash flow" is that you stay profitable.

How much profit do you have in your current house?  

@Dave Bobka @Justin Arnold So, if an investor is looking for a larger, family style home for a Section 8 tenant that is dependent upon public transit, this would be a great property, wouldn't it?

I didn’t have much money and needed to find a way to get in the game. 10 years later, I’ve got 29 SFR that profit 19k/month (not including things breaking or vacancies).

Is it like you sold your house and don’t have to pay for the profit?
