Always trying to make things simple, better, faster.  

It is a community recommendation to get Permanent residency faster.

You'll be able to scale up much faster using this approach than just spending all of your cash up front.

If the problem is that they aren't together enough to be bothered with moving any faster than 30 days, then that puts up lots of red flags for me.  

The stock market does tend to grow much faster.  

It’s much faster and easier this way for me.

Your rentals should only perform better over time as rental income increases faster than property taxes, insurance and other expenses.How much will that contribute to your retirement income?

Honest question, if I would have given you my 30k instead of buying my first distressed property how would that get me on the road to "greatness" faster than just buying a property and getting started on that path?

Evictions are quick and easy (just a few weeks, faster than most states), judges have always been 100% on my side, sheriffs conduct the move-out quickly with no fuss, there’s no notice required for owners to inspect or enter the property if they want to (I usually still try to give some notice out of courtesy, but it’s nice that I’m not required to), rent control was prohibited entirely across the state in 1981 (recent efforts to overturn that have failed), HOAs don’t have much power here (max fine is $500 for non health and safety violations, they have to give ample notice before any fines, can’t foreclose over late fees or fines, etc.).

Market rent for each is 1950-2100 (the 1600 tenant was there when I bought it and super low rent but great tenants so i made a plan with them to raise it to market over the next three years as the jump would be way to much all at once). mortgage currently with insurance and taxes escrowed is 2100.I have a really low rate which makes this decision hard but the equity would help me fund the next 2-3 deals and enable me to start scaling faster
