It's hard to harvest equity on these plays, unless you commit, long-term, towards very light leverage, as the only practical ways to benefit from the equity in your portfolio, if you plan to never sell it, only exchange it, for a lifetime, are to spend the cash flow, or cash out refi.

You can get into a bunch of properties with that much money, but honestly unless you just really love RE I'd be pretty tempted to find a couple of decent dividend funds and just harvest the returns.

And I like to harvest equity to buy more cash flowing properties.

Because it allows you to "harvest" the accumulated gain or loss for tax purposes while still holding the investment.

More people are buying in the Owens Cross Roads, Harvest & Meridianville areas because you get more bang for your buck.

I’ve actually done 4 cash out refis to buy 14 more SFR with zero money out of pocket by harvesting the equity in my houses that appreciated over time.

So I took my two paid off rentals and harvested the equity to scale up and increase my cash flow.

A non-performing note is unlikely to produce cash flow but profit can be harvested from enough protective equity.

@Brody Veilleux Loss harvesting in real estate allows you to offset capital gains by selling a property at a loss, which can also offset gains from stocks or other investments.
