If it were YOUR money, would you build a duplex, sell the lot for a small profit and rolling into an existing rental property, or pulling the plug on ND because the market has peaked and invest elsewhere?

I've been fortunate to have bought/sold my first home and roll the majority of the profit into my current home, so I have $200k+/- equity in my current residence.

And FYI I did not have a mentor and started with very little money-bad credit and it took a long, long time to get rolling.

Jim, I have been investing in real estate for over 5yrs now and I do have a strategy my partners and I have used before in order to help roll the money and keep some properties back for cashflow.

Now I can''t remember who said it; just rolled my eyes and went about my business.

I personally believe that this site has been the biggest source of enlightenment, and motivation for me to get the ball rolling!

And besides, if you sold retail, you can make alot more money than being an investor.." then a saying rolled into my head from other investors i have talked to " you know why im not an agent?

We plan to purchase another house each of the next two years, then continue to roll the profits from all of them into purchasing more property.
