But if your in flat to semi flat appreciation markets which could describe most of the US as the prices seemed to have topped in most areas.. then you really need to look at your fixed expenses and see where it all falls out.

It's a sign of a strong/growing economy and an indication that the Fed believes they need to keep inflation in check. 

Most likely the "turn key" company inflated the your expected rent.

Since CoCROI is calculated at the very beginning when leverage is at a maximum it gives you inflated results.

Are these good areas to invest or already super inflated?

We're in the late stage of the RE cycle and properties are inflated in many places.

., sales prices adjusted for inflation) before you draw your conclusions. 

I find nothing about the inflated 10% down or as one lender stated 25% down requirement on the FHA Site. however, I do find calculating the rental income at 75% of rents on the site but find no mention of them discounting 100% of rents for 3-6 months as a reserve account anywhere on the site and think it might be a lender requirement.

Stockpiling cash isn't horrible, other than it doesn't hedge against inflation.

Hi all,Was hoping to get perspectives / hear stories on how others approached the possibility of selling RE assets and using the proceeds to paydown debt on other properties.Here is what I see as potential +’s and -‘s:+ increase cash flow by removing mortgages (so more passive income)+ opportunity to sell underperforming assets- less assets under management (so less potential equity appreciation)- taxable gains (will not redeploy into RE as my sense is we are near the top of the market)- 30 year fixed mortgages in place at low 4-handle rates (based on simple bond math, the value of my liability is shrinking on a relative basis as rates rise)Other facts relevant to my situation:* RE is but just one asset in my portfolio (and I’m fine with that); cash flow and appreciation are great, but I’m looking at the asset class as more of a long term hedge against inflation * not looking to leave my day job and / or replace W-2 income entirely with passive income * don’t need the cash flows from RE; again, I see the asset as a levered inflation-hedging play
