Selling and dropping the equity into an index fund is a lower-maintenance option, but you’d be locking in your gains at a relatively stagnant point in the market.Given your low interest rate and the potential for rents to inch up, renting could be a reasonable play.

Networking also plays a vital role; connecting with other investors, real estate agents, and industry experts can provide valuable insights and open doors to new opportunities.

Seems to me the play today is simply be a preferred equity investor.
