Although at this point most peoples PIA is stolen, generally the more recently it's stolen the more it's traded/sold/used for fraud, so it's still good to limit PIA from being stolen repeatedly.They're going to recommend a defined set of investments/allocations based on your questionnaire and where their back office black box says we are in the economic cycle, rate cycle. 

@Aaron David Lietz  keep in mind when you scale rentals especially low value rentals with highly transient tenants your just trading jobs.. to really make money on those low end rentals you have to roll your Sleeves up and work it.might not be full time but your not going to just buy them and they magically churn out money. 

Many who are in the various trades are not investors as much as the labor for investors.

I have been in the residential and commercial floor covering trade since 2000.

Unless your are trading up to a multifamily property I don't see much point in selling one SFR for another, especially if finding one that is undervalued is unlikely. 

Finding and managing trades is difficult.  

There will be a short term BONANZA of spending followed by a period of failure and readjutment.If the government really wanted to help these people there would be more GEDs, trade schools and BETTER PAYING JOBS. 

It's better to give than to receive.Having a scarcity mindset can stifle your growth, and block your blessings.You're going to protect your trade secrets, and everyone has the right to do that... it's fair and reasonable.You'll be rewarded for helping others and paying it forward.You did a good thing.

Would love to trade stories and discuss strategy. 

It will hard to trade my paid for minivan for a $40K SUV, but as my wife says, what is the point of all our rental properties if we are not enjoying the fruits of our labor.
