And hanging on now to a free and clear property that has stable tenants isn't a bad situation.Like Bill had said If you decided to sell and find a property you like that one day you might want to retire in, you could do a 1031 exchange, which allows you to defer all of the tax and reinvest it in another investment property and later down the line convert it to your primary residence.

Relationships... long term, it's the way you'll win because eventually it compounds. 

Down the road, house hacking can also provide flexibility when you move out and convert it to a full rental, while still benefiting from primary-residence tax rules during ownership.

Wholesalers and agents will eventually start showing you properties that are not on the market once they see you as a serious buyer.Good luck!
