I am just weighing our options if it's wise to sell a steady asset for one that's a bit more of a risk but the reward is MUCH greater.

Land prices is same story.There is pressure on developers to keep prices steady means squeezed margins.

This way uncle has a steady income for a little while.Or if your parents can get some cash to buy uncle out with cash now, then owner finance the whole house to you, that might work.OR you can get a hard money loan to purchase from parents and uncle you can do the deal by yourself.

The only thing to say is...hindsight is a beautiful thing The truth is … Rich dad isn’t wrong, “The market will eventually correct”The way to get ahead in Real Estate is a steady approach and making sure the numbers work for you NOT the so-called experts.

You aren’t going to have a steady income as a realtor for at least 6 months.

If you look at the past 20+ years, Austin has been a steady-climber with appreciation, job growth, and population growth.

Get your rents up to market value (use the Dion McNeely <look up the BP podcast> strategy to do it with existing tenants, make sure your cap-ex for the future is taken care of, and make sure your cashflow is steady.3.

The issue I've ran up against is the mini-split does nothing against the concrete slab which seems to absorb and slow-release whatever outside temperature it's been in the past 12 or so hours.I'm a complete noob.

But I have some industrial (and other) REITS in my portfolio, primarily for liquidity purposes with some steady dividend income because the REITs have to distribute so much income to keep their tax-favored status.
