How are you buy and hold investors resisting the urge to sell?

[John Teachout]

We are buy and hold investors primarily seeking cash flow that we live on. We typically buy SFR fixers and do some "forced appreciation". Our portfolio is still in the growth stage and we would like to acquire a few more properties over the next five years. Watching the property prices with their crazy increases makes us want to sell and take some profit but we know from a business standpoint, it would not be beneficial to our long term plan. How are the rest of you resisting urge to sell? Or aren't you?

I am surprised that 10 lenders hasn’t jumped on here and suggested refinancing in order to pull money out and keep the property as a long-term asset.
