In other words, they're literally doubling and tripling their TOTAL investment.

I'm currently doing all the reading I can and listening to the BP podcasts and getting my financial ducks in a row.So question, I've owned my house for 5 years and have been making double and sometimes triple mortgage payments thinking that was a smart thing to do with my money.

Keep the best performing part of your portfolio, which seems to be triple net commercials, and cash out refi/ 1031 exchange the poorly performing/ annoying part, which seems to be the residential.

Even 2-3 years back, the prices of triple deckers in Eastie were 30-50% less.In terms of what you should do.. it's a tough decision and completely up to you. 

@Koen Ballantine What kinds of repairs are you thinking you can make that won't be extensive yet will triple the homes value?

No trees, no utilities, nothing.I got a lot of interest in the second area and actually ended up selling the 10 acre property for about triple what I had to sell the perfect property for.

I asked about the escrowing as well and they said that it should be shortened, but that it will be reflected in the final docs....which I thought these were, that's why I needed to sign them before closing in person.I appreciate the help all, I want to triple check these things as I'm working a W2 job, also just did a HELOC on my rentail property and might be missing the details.

Nice waterfront lot with triple wide manufactured house.

However, I then bought 7 more and quickly his workload tripled.

About to sell an existing property and will be able to pull ~120k in equity so looking to double or triple up on rentals after moving this one.
