For me personally I'm going to let a few more pioneers take some arrows in the back and see a lot more growth in that area before I start considering it.  

If this passes it is a potential opportunity for huge growth. 


That said, one always has to balance the need for liquidity with the wants/desires of growth.

One thing a small timer, sole investor has a problem with is too many tasks, not enough hands or hours in the day...  

All real estate markets operate in cycles and if they are in an area that is experiencing rapid growth in the upswing part of the cycle then perhaps you might be able to show them this information.

the buyer is not going to be a foreign guy who thinks houston is a great city poised for growth because this city is not nearly as diversified as people think it is...the smart money knows theres a lot of oil and gas risk still on the table. 

I do think there is great business growth potential here though.

With 9 million left with multiple higher quality assets owned and great areas throwing off cash flow with rent growth and cap compression they could be fine and regain that lost 500k in no time.If someone has 2 million net worth and dumping 1 million into this asset class they are really asking for problems.

I think when purchasing multifamily there are many important factors: population growth, job growth, landlord or tenant friendly city or state, vacancy trends, rent growth trends, etc.  

People pay a premium for these areas and tremendous growth but hard to find a steal.
