Hi Matthew, Congratulations for being in this business for 35 years. 

With rental increases I could prob pay off my mortgage in 5/6 years which would net me 4K.

It was a single family home in San Jose that he bought 40+ years ago.

Case in point, years ago we used Olympic paints from Lowes, which were carried for a long time.

He'll have at least $2k per month in positive cash flow and tons of equity when it's time to find the next home in some years.

Hoping to get help from like minded people.After lurking in the back ground for years, we recently started purchasing property in the greater Birmingham area.  

@Sam Avila Sr I'm just getting back into BiggerPockets myself as I was on here four years ago.
