I own a 3 apartment income property (almost paid off) and I wanted to ask you for some advice regarding acquiring more properties like this. would you suggest selling the income property and use the profits to acquire more properties or keep it and finance any new property with a new loan. what is more appealing to banks?

I then suggest setting up a bank account where there is auto pay.

Study the market.

I wouldn't suggest you buy a single-family home to live in because the additional cost outweighs the benefits.

First of all, I suggest you search the forums as arbitrage has been discussed ad nauseam.

Any suggestions?

Do you have any suggestions on how to go about this?

You have lots of income suggestions, work on them and remember it isn't forever.

It's still a good market for long term rentals but the returns are not what they were 10 years ago - but if you can get past overly optimistic suggested ROI, it's a really solid market.

Seeing out there if anyone has any reading lists or content suggestions for sales or negotiation in Real Estate.
