@Yi Chu If you have self employment activity I recommend you take a look at a Solo 401k with Checkbook control to avoid the middle person or custodian as it were and avoid the extra fees associated. 

Many people are aware of a 1031 exchange, however if they are looking to exit their active real estate portfolio, it’s not always the solution they are looking for.

I want to make sure I'm not rushing into things - but my mind keeps telling me I just need to make the jump lol.

if a group of like-minded individuals want to buy a building and live in it and submit themselves to a binding code of conduct that’s one thing, but refusing to rent to people who don’t follow a lifestyle irrelevant to one’s duties as a tenant?

A Florida airbnb was what I exactly had in mind 😀. 

never mind on the part about PMI - Carl specifies that later in the book....

Shoot me a message and let me know what's on your mind. 

But once that level is reached, in my mind, equity growth and an increase in net worth should be the goal.I’ll share a recent acquisition to illustrate the point.

They're often very, very busy chasing deals and devoting time to higher payoff activities.  

How do I change their mind?
