I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

Your 1,000 shares would carry a value of $13,670.00 as of January 1, 2021.Our price per share is calculated as follows:Total value of all assets (LESS) Total Liabilities (EQUALS) Net Asset Value (also referred to as Net Equity).Net Asset Value (DIVIDED BY) Total Number of Outstanding Shares (EQUALS) Net Asset Value Per Share (aka Net Equity Per Share or Book Value per Share).Our Net Asset Value per share becomes our new stock price per share.

I like following stock markets, cryptocurrency markets and love to travel.
