Could you take that equity and trade it for a property that would provide more cash flow?

It's not a complete disaster as I'm down some $1,000 in day trading and swing trading SPY over the last few weeks.

The liquidity aspect of them, makes me prefer to trade them more month to month. 

It is okay to trade up in quality or quantity.  

I am wanting to learn some of the trade and secrets that make this a successful business. 

But it's a trade-off-- I'd much rather pay market value if it means *not* having to do any work or taking on that risk.

I don't believe getting a college degree or an education in a trade is ever a bad thing, even if your career isn't in your area of study.

Among those conditions are the following: no history of serious crime at the property, no history of volatile occupancy swings with the property, and that the acquiring owner and new management are considered “sophisticated” relative to the current ownership. 

You are trading hours for money.

We would like to trade information and ideas.
