It really came down to a time in my life where I want to enjoy it rather than continue to chase it.

I'm all for making sacrifices, but we also do want to enjoy life along the way.I hope this helps.

But on the other hand, you can also convert into a Roth and enjoy tax-free rental income for the rest of your life.Great book: Leverage your IRA by Mathew Allen.

I'm looking to expand more and I enjoy this space.

I want to slow my life down a bit and enjoy the fruits of my labors (I had cancer a few years ago and I acknowledge my time to enjoy life is finite).It occurred to me that I should just cash-out refinance my properties that are fully stabilized and that have significant equity, but that can also easily support the new debt incurred.
