Hi Eric, One of your other options might be to find a performing asset in a local - ish market.

I've been slowing moving more assets to cash, to be in a better place for when assets are available at more profitable prices - things like turning off dividend reinvestment, and slowing down my accelerating of debt repayment in favor of holding the cash. 

Norman, here is a link of a screenshot of Yoast (https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/screenshot-4) Does it look familiar, yep... 

There are extensive studies that prove that commercial MFs (100+ units) are much more recession-resistant than other asset classes.

is it a software program?

One day, I just decided to take the plunge, as long as there was nothing massively wrong with the asset I was buying.

A lease doesn’t terminate on death and is considered a asset/liability of the deceased

Buy a cheap house, rent it, flip it, 1031... repeat/trade up... repeat/trade up... repeat/trade up... until you have a significant asset above and beyond the quality of your original house purchase... then move in.

Will you exchange into a similar asset or just pay the piper?

That sounds strange, but you have nothing holding you back from venturing out of your security...because you have lost that security blanket that was your job.I would venture to say, that most of the success stories in history, started out where you are right now...me included.So, with nothing holding you back, and with plenty of time on your hands (time will always be your greatest asset...since you can never get it back), if you want to get into REI, you need to do the following:1 - Learn,2 - Learn some more,3 - Keep learning.Places to learn (before you say "that costs money"), that don't cost any money are:1 - Online education sites that have free articles written by experts in their fields.2 - Free e-books, that you can get online.3 - Joining your local REIC's to both learn and network.4 - ...and never stop learning...even when you become a success at this (and you will)Also, three very critical actions you MUST follow to be a success:1 - Always think possitive.2 - Train yourself to think of future "obstacles" as temporary problems...and you are the problem solver.
