When I started my real estate career in 2006, I knew next to nothing about selling a house.

Real estate is typically considered an illiquid investment because it takes time to sell the property and receive your capital back out of the fund so investors will need to be prepared for this type of timeline.

Once again these products aren’t cheap, but they perform well and will save costs associated with having to repair a failing waterproof system down the road...like many developers, though, who don’t give a **** about their buildings lasting longer than the time they can sell and any liability lasts, this type of system may not be wanted

If not, sell.

I researched this a bit after having the thought the other day as I started planning to sell my portfolio slowly over time.

Any pointers on how should I run numbers to compare two cases.Case 1:  Rent home A, Buy Home B @7.5%, with potential refinance at 3.5-4% ( ifff thats feasible ) after 2 years, once the rates are down. ( i know high hopes , but I dont think 7.5% is the new normal ).Case 2: Sell the home, get equity out, pay the whole equity ( dont know if thats wise ) towards downpayment of home B, reducing loan amount to approx 320k. 

I need to pay off my lawyer fees before all the houses sell and qualify for these properties.

1) Capital improvement can be added to to original cost basis thus would reduce your tax paid on capital gain had you decide to sell it later.
