To you there was little change, you just keep paying your note but now own 123 Main St instead of 345 Side Way, and you have your equity as cash in your pocket from sale 1.

Yes, we meet the 1st Thursday each month for our main evening meeting and we meet the 2nd Saturday each month at 8am for Dealmakers Breakfast Club. 

Mainly my sister is the main admin and we hire a facility manager for reach house.

They recently renewed their lease, and it was in my intention to ask for the new renters insurance, and things got busy during the holiday season and I never took the time to ask them.

Is that the main goal or something else?

To 1031 it doesnt make a lot of sense IMO since $100k of equity going into a new property with 7-8% interest rates will force us to look into markets outside of Oregon, require a Property Mgr at 7-10% and we're almost back at square one unless its a MF with great cashflow.The main considerations for liquidating the brokerage account are: capital gains + OR state income taxes will be brutal, I like the idea of tax advantaged real estate gains AND growing real wealth and assets, not paper wealth.

The main reason I ask is because that is significantly below primary residence mortgage rates let alone any investment loans, if you can get rates like that I might need to make some changes on my end hahahTo answer your original question, assuming all else is equal long-term fixed rate debt is valuable. 

The fact is that anyone who takes, leads, or carries away the property of another with the intent to convert it to their own use or deprive the owner of it is committing a crime.
