I’m late into RE investing but with high net worth and income. Seeking advice from successful RE investors

So a little background first. I’m 39 yo, first generation immigrant came from Asia. Been in US for 10 years. I own around $4m RE in my home country with all mortgage paid off. I own a house in SoCal which I bought in 2015 for ~800k with 450k mortgage remaining. Now this worth $1.4m. Then I moved to Dallas but I did it sell the house in SoCal instead I rent it at 3.5k/mo due to a tenant since 2018. I bought a house in Dallas for ~$470k which worths $800k now. This one got around $300k mortgage remaining. I got both refinanced with no cash out during the pandemic.

My main job is a software engineer at one of FAANG which nets me usually $300k but $400k in 2021. My wife also works for a salary of around $130k. We have one kid.

I have around $400k in cash, $600k in stock/rsu/401k. So my total net worth is at around a bit less than $7m.

You see my problem now, first I have $400k cash stay in bank account which I feel nervous about. Secondly I only buy house when I need to live in, but I never sold any of them , either in SoCal or my home country.

This habit makes me feel pretty regretful after seeing recent skyrocketed house price, which I should really haven taken advantage of. However now I do feel nervous about buying one in city like Austin(again becoz I probably move them in a few years) since the price is already like doubled in the last year.

So should I buy in some mild cities first? Or is it really going to crash like some YTer said ( I watched tons of videos recently , and the more I watch, the more nervous I tend to be. On the other side I also FOMO). Should I sell the SoCal house and buy some cheaper ones in cheaper cities? Is it realistic buying rental properties in cities that I don’t live in? Should I move my oversea money to the US and buy US houses instead ? How do you guys start your RE investment journey at the beginning ? Also from a heated market ?

Thank you so much in advance!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
