Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. 

This is my third SFR in this market.

So, the extra unit may cost you more then it brings if you cannot access equity or if the market discounts the property when you go to sell due to financing available.

Cheapest marketing model I’ve put together.

I suspect even the banks who are aggressively expanding are doing so merely to sure up their geographical presence  to in order to expand their customer base but will then pull back on their branch numbers.Unless there is significant term remaining on the lease, there are other retail concepts that would be deemed more marketable.

Milwaukee Cleveland Toledo great markets.

There are many markets that this will work great. 

I used a heloc to purchase the first 4 rentals, so $155k of dept is wrapped up In  that until I refinance each property which have already appreciated extremely quickly given the current market. 

Quote from @Kishan Purohit: @Heath D WallaceTo get this deal to cash flow, you could look into increasing the rent if the market allows or reducing operating expenses, such as lowering management fees, vacancy rates, or insurance costs.
