The cash flow is poor for this value of an asset and my equity position.  

Even though I wasn't a good asset manager, I made money on my properties. 

You will always have to be an asset manager of your property manager as your property manager is not a mind reader for your investment strategy decisions. 

It actually works out better when you enjoy the asset yourself as opposed to someone who just wants the money. 

Another we work with will take a new deal that was $500k, they may lend full amountore but they would also need to cross collateralize as well on other assets that would have to be atleast 2-3x value of the property.  

Sometimes there is only great recession data, and that recession was pretty mild on some asset classes, versus previous recessions.

That allows the payment to be low, manageable and easy to cash flow when you transition it into a rental.When you move out you will have more money in the bank, stronger assets, and be cash fluid in case you need to make an offer on more investment properties.

That is what is meant by slow flip except generally you will use borrowed funds to buy distressed property and sell for more with financing--similar to what some used car dealers do but with an appreciating asset instead.

For capital gains realized from fixed assets such as real property, only 50% of the capital gains will be taxable if the capital gains are reinvested in fixed assets such as real property during the year the sale occurred, the previous year, or within two years after the sale.

I am interested in investing in something a bit more passive as I am getting older and, while I love the real estate asset class, I do recognize the need for multiple streams of income.
