Stock laminate.

Would it make more sense and would we make more money in the stock market vs rentals? 

Most of our housing stock is OLD.

And cash, stocks, SF LTRs, renewable energy, and flips for diversity :-)>> ....10 to 20 rentals.... ....this is not a modest goal.

Keep in mind you shouldn't swallow most answers lock stock and barrel as they say no matter the source. 

Would you buy a million worth of Amazon stocks if you could rent them to me and I pay them off for you??

Please help me build my ability to analyze stocks.

When you say the deferral that comes due in 2026, that's in regards to the cap gains deferral on the sale of your stock (assuming that's the asset you're liquidating to start the fund), right?

Im not a big stock and mutual fund kinda guy.

Can just invest 80/20 stocks bonds and pull out an inflation adjusted annual 4-5% a year.
