I know many of us didn't get into this game until later in life so my hat's off to you.

Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.

Thanks I hadn’t done a short term flip in a couple years and getting back into the game here in riverside county. 

Real estate is all about learning as you go and playing the long game.

I appreciate your plan to do 1031 and get back into the game.

Love your mindset—real estate is a long game, and you're starting with the right attitude!

I am taking your advise, and switched my game plan to include a local agent or property manager to show the properties. 

Like Eric said, investing is the long game.

You already have a pretty solid portfolio, so adding another property and generating more cash flow might accelerate your wealth in a way that the Roth can’t match, especially if you’re planning to transition to real estate full-time soon.The long-term game for you seems to be building that cash flow and equity in real estate, and it sounds like taking the hit on the Roth 401(k) could be worth it for the immediate returns.
