You’re in a Strong Starting Position — You Just Feel “Illiquid”You already have several things going for you:Home equity: Roughly ~$140K in unrealized equity ($235K value – $90K loan).Pension & retirement savings: Long-term financial safety net.Stable W2 income + supplemental job: Consistency lenders like.Below-market mortgage rate (4.25%) on your primary — a great asset in today’s high-rate environment.The challenge isn’t wealth, it’s liquidity — you’re “asset rich, cash flow tight.”

Inbound marketing, direct to seller is where the money is at.Most investors I speak with get leads from SEO, which are the most motivated seller leads & close around 1 in 10 leads to a deal, but it's definitely a long-term play.If you have a good follow-up and sales process in place, PPC or PPL is great to supplement while you're waiting for SEO to kick in (3-12 months depending on market & competition).

Its a tough love stance sometimes, but BP enables both the good and the bad! 

The process is quite simple; once your application is submitted, you will receive a notification and gain access to both background and credit reports.This platform not only enables you to screen applicants but also allows you to market properties, receive payments, and handle maintenance requests.

However, if your goal is financial independence, cities were rented and prices do not increase faster than inflation will not enable long term financial independence.
