Some people are growth-minded, which means they are willing to help for a low cost, or not much compensation knowing that the more conversations they have will lead to more clients.

From an investment standpoint this reminds me I believe of a Bill Cosby story line I believe.  

This deal showcased our ability to create value and profit in a competitive market.

Originally posted by @Chris Seveney:@Charles RobbinsI would say the ability to get a note and mortgage to acquire a home has helped a lot more people than it has hurt.

Further, the property may qualify for larger loans based on the increased cash flow ability to service debt.  

Existing deals will instead be saved by NOI growth driven by rent growth--if you have the staying power to hold on long enough.Supply:  High deliveries remain today mostly because of "hang over" from projects that are taking longer to complete than developers (and industry analysts) expected. 

.• Use some equity from the sale to make this transition smoother.I’m torn between maintaining our current home as an asset and buying  a new smaller house to use as a rental after we move back in versus simplifying and focusing on a single upgraded property Considering factors like market trends, potential equity growth, and quality of life, which path do you think would be most beneficial?

It is our goal to deliver all of this in the RTR Academy along with a plethora of benefits to students to include:-VIP access to RTR inventory before the general public-ability to earn back course fees through investing & our attractive referral program-tax, legal & investing advice from our team of attorney, CPAs & investment advisors-no cost SDIRA or solo 401(k) account to invest through retirement vehicles -lifetime membership with no ongoing or additional fees, etc.!

Last, I would invest some capital in an investment with strong growth, so it could help replace the income you have at your job.

PROS of a Solo 401(k) with no Custodian: 1) Freedom of checkbook control, ability to more easily move funds in and out of a bank account in the name of the Solo 401(k). 2) In some cases, lower fees. 3) Ability to more easily link your Solo 401(k) to bank account systems like rental property management systems, or if investing in real estate syndication platforms.
