My goal is to shift from buying to paying off my properties as soon as the paid off property bar hits $11k per month. 

Hi @Catherine Javier,Your options each have pros and cons, but let’s break them down strategically:Renovate and Shift to MTR/STR: This could maximize cash flow ($2,400+ for MTR) and offset the costs of renovations.

LA to AR. that is a big culture shift.

When the current shifts in your favor, you will be miles ahead of those sitting on the shore waiting. 

They're such a massive campaign that it seems unlikely, but with too much guest-first action you can expect a small shifting of the tides.

They are making moves before this shift happens.

I think the shift toward risk-on assets is lowering demand for safer investments like T-Bills, especially as investors look to outrun inflation beyond what CPI numbers reflect.

. —- Again I’m not saying you have to do these things; it all depends what type of investor you are and what you are looking for however it is important to understand that if you shift the responsibility of either identifying the invest property or managing or any other aspect there WILL be a trade off — in this case the turnkey company has delivered on your goal of 8-9% ROI (projected... so TBC) and in return you have traded some of the other benefits of investing in RE for the convenience of not having to do much more than to look over the properties they have sent you and funding it from the comfort of your home, office, etc. ... again if this is the goal then you are on point but if the goal is to also partake in ALL of the other benefits of RE then you should understand that and not be surprised that it’s not a ‘stellar’ investment that checks all the boxes.
