I would likely use the equity to purchase more real estate so I might just 1031 into a new propertyCaveat: I am not a CPA, tax professional, lawyer, IRS afficianado or other expert in taxes, but...If you have lived in the property for two of the last five years, you should be able to capture that $100k in appreciation without needing to go through the hassles of a 1031 exhange.

One upside to me would consistent rent scale, meaning if you upgrade one unit early, you set the table for all of the units when done because they are all the same.

But, excel is totally fine in the beginning (in addition to your PM software to capture transactions outside of the properties).We use QuickBooks Online exclusively for all of our REI Clients.

So I need to get a template I can use consistently.

For instance, a duplex can offer more consistent income since if one tenant vacates, you still have another paying rent.

Learn how to consistently hit singles and doubles, and don't be ashamed to take the occasional walk. 5 years is a very short time frame to go from no RE to financially free (although you may already have property, which is an awesome start). 

Or it could be that the recipient inadvertently dropped the email (it happens).But if two-way communication has been established and you’ve found that the sponsor is consistently slow to respond, that would be cause for concern.  

Doesn't have to be a lot of hours but gives you consistent income as you flip(would be 60/90+ days till you see a return). 

However the negative reviews have been consistent for a few years, and still recently, so that is a concern.

So... as a good fool, I end up signing for the 3 days course expecting to have good lessons.I then went to the seminar that I left after 2 days of consistent brain washing.
