I would argue that you can only save a finite amount of money when aggressively paying off the mortgage, but you have a much higher potential increase to your assets and wealth by taking that extra principle and reinvesting it into other investment instruments.

Just be prepared for extra coordination and make sure you have clear agreements in place.

While rent rates do increase, so do the potential headaches of managing multiple tenants.For example, here in Bryan and College Station, TX, you can get an extra 10% by renting out rooms individually.

If you want to shield yourselves as the owners of the properties, then I guess it's possible, but not sure why you want that extra accounting headache.  

You need to make sure take extra time vetting the tenant.

I one tried to buy a house where the seller was being assessed/taxed for an additional house that was NOT on the property but was actually on the neighbors property and they had been paying an extra $1k or so in taxes for this extra small house for ~10 years!!!

Hey @Mariangela Ciciarelli, Many of our clients invest casually in short-term rentals (STRs) near Disney in Orlando, and while there is potential, extra due diligence is crucial.

That's an extra $900 that you keep.

You can go up to 80% but the rate is not worth the extra 5% in most cases.The other thing to look at is if you have a prepayment penalty and if so how many years you have left on any of the three properties, if not than your good to go!

Bank REOs often have extra paperwork and offers are made with an agent.
