As I want not just an LLC, but to set up a self-directed retirement account to shift some assets from existing retirement accounts, my needs may be a little more niche than yours (unless there's a way to use your TSP :)   ).  

I know the market always shifts, just curious to see where everyone is at since COVID did change things up a bit in an unnatural way so to speak. 

Their is a lot of perceived risk in the market right now from a lot of unknowns and an ever shifting landscape of economic factors.

Hi Dean,Good on you for getting to the mindset shift and starting to think creatively!

As my wife and I got closer to realizing we were financially comfortable, we started shifting to our desired cash % I-bonds.

This property is in a very nice area so it will be easy to shift to mid term or long term but the profit margin is just way better in short term rentals.

As rates are continuing to rise trends will likely shift back towards 2%.

My timeline isn't absolute, but I do want to be ready as the market seems to be shifting in our favor. 

And can be relatively easy to do when shifting from SF properties to commercial or larger MF as the due diligence periods for each are very different.What to invest in is a trade off that needs to suit your personality. 

The city allows streamlined "administrative adjustment" in RT-4 which allows a zoning change due to lot size as long as the lot size is not less than 90% of the required minimum lot area.
