I'm just gradually deleveraging, this next time by likely buying all in cash, and continuing to not lever my properties until cap rates are lower than interest rates... unless I can get cheap and low leverage debt through assumption.

I know taxes and insurance have gone up a lot in that time so I understand that problem but the solid rent increases in that time have been able to cover most of that (at least for me it has worked out).

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

@Guenevere F.When I started in rental property investing, I found it crucial to set clear goals, leverage existing skills, and focus on scaling gradually.

Each market is different but as a national average, the increasing rates have increased the inventory.

The closer you are to Huntsville the rental demands increase.

Quote from @Rich Davis: I know there have been posts regarding the ever increasing cost of insurance.  

I'm also curious if the amount that you get for the LOC, would the fees get higher as your LOC increases?   

Rent roll is $12,000 and increases to $13,000 in April 2025.
