I am buy and hold and was planning on keeping the portfolio and passing it to my kids for both stock and property.  

Most engineers play in the stock market or save their way to retirement, but I just can't stand the idea of working until I'm 65.

That is true for most stock investments, any collectibles, gold or silver, etc.In real estate, your portfolio would not only allow you to have appreciation but also cash flow that can, over time, cover your expense and make you free.

I am trying to put together a list of hard money, portfolio, and commercial credit line lenders where I can set up credit lines, personal loans, private mortgages/hard money loans, or good credit cards in the event I suddenly needed a large amount of funds that stretched past my stock and cash reserves. 

For me 401k has no realistic point it’s returns are very low compared to active real estate invest unless you do individual stocks and are good at it and even then your better off with it not in 401k so that it can be used.

No one else offers the opportunity to earn your entire cap back in stock and revenue share.

We currently have our money in stocks and crypto and we don’t want to pull our money out sooner then we need to, unless required (riding out some gains).

They lower profit expectations, which means lower dividends and less stock holder value.

@Joanne Tsai whether it’s stocks or the RE market, you shouldn’t bet on the future.

Invest in another multi-family, or, dare I say in this forum, the stock market?
