@Jeff Barber - congrats on all the success!  For me, the biggest issue is taxes and simplification.

I would rather own less and gross the same so I would sell a bundle of residential houses - 1031 into a commercial property with less maintenance and be debt free.

I hope that helped.

I've never heard of a fixed rate HELOC. They are generally good for 10 years - that's a lot of risk for a lender :-)

Buy an ozone generating air scrubber.  You can get them for less than $100 on Amazon.  I use them all the time on heavy smoke and pet smell houses and it works great in neutralizing the odors.  You'll also want to put at least one if not 2 heavy coats of primer like Kilz on the subfloors before you put new flooring back in.  This will help lock in any subfloor saturation if you don't want to replace the section.  Make sure to wipe down the walls, trim and doors before you repaint so that you remove the layers of nicotine, otherwise your paint likely won't stick.

I buy older multifamily and just wanted to add to this to not forget to change the lights and air filters.  Excellent advice

Excellent post! Out of all the post I have seen on real estate vs stocks - this is the best one.

I don't agree with your realtors comments but I do think you should get this letter within 24 hours.

Have you asked for this to be waived if you kept a certain amount on deposit?
