These days, I am mostly a buy-and-hold investor in South Louisiana with a portfolio also in South Mississippi.

As my portfolio grew, I became laser-focused on the work in front of me.My wife and I own Cozy Co-Host LLC, a short-term rental management company based in Atlantic City, NJ.

You'll have a portfolio of what ever, it would simply be an investment with your own funds.

Investment mortgages, like DSCR loans for investment properties, typically come with prepayment penalties (PPP) to protect against prepayment risk and the keep portfolio CPR in line.

Personally, I’ve decided to sell two properties out of my portfolio of 26 to address some unexpected expenses and other debts.I was hesitant at first because I didn’t want to let go of any properties.

The Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a resource for connections with contacts that own rental portfolios, legal presentations and resources, and contractors.

If you’re keen on keeping your stock portfolio intact, leveraging your home equity via a HELOC or home equity loan could be a smart way to keep that diversification going. 

I didn't see a lot of the cross-portfolio-performance I'm looking for. 

However, if you'd like to continue to grow your portfolio and use your own funds (instead of OPM), then I would tend to say take out more than the 50k in order to fund future purchases.

Half of my rental portfolio for the last 10 years in the Bay Area have been Section 8 tenants.
