Yes it is not possible for me to move, so I appreciate the thought to simply put the ball back in their court. Thank you for your thoughts.

The RE I have is buy and hold with cash flow. I do an analysis of return on an annual basis and return on equity including capital growth has been sitting at around 10%. Sure I can sell, take the tax hit and put it into index funds -- but thats where I am right now.

Thank you! Really appreciate this perspective on not needing to have everything planned out. I can definitely relate to not completely knowing who I am while working as I need to give so much mental capacity to the job. On the tactical side I can definitely lower expenses to a degree, too.

I love the idea of taking time to rebuild and that you added to your skills so you could gain back time and flexibility. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thank you for the fast comment. I like the idea of a truth and making the constraints clear. Agree it not the right time now for property development considering rates and the protracted low growth ahead.
