That said, I've been able to be my own Designated Broker for 18 years now and I have never chosen to be "on my own" for many reasons, including a layer of liability protection. 

I have chosen to list my STR on Airbnb.

Get that degree and go to your chosen field and then do this on the side.

This is the path I have chosen to take.

Any time you try to do a refinance of your properties, the bank chosen appraisers will do their best to bring the loan in as low as possible so the bank avoids any cash back scenarios.

There are specific markets they've chosen for their acquisitions.

My goals are to cover expenses first, then replace my income, and be capable of having no job by 40, I am 33 now and will always want a job, i just set a 7 year goal to achieve that so that I can enjoy time with my wife and future kids, and take care of our family and circle of friends if ever needed in emergency.Overall these two funds were chosen because MHP's are typically more recession proof and safe.

They say the future is in discounted stocks, in apartments, in crypto, in agriculture, in marijuana etc.

I've chosen not to borrow against my free and clears but may change my mind if opportunities started popping up.
