Consolidation in the crowded CF space.

For our portfolio, they bring a higher return, and more consolidated management.I like leveraging equity to expand into more properties, but recently spoke to a friend who is using a combination of equIty and other fInancIal instruments to generate more cash-flow, capture interest, and control cash.

It's sitting there, on tap for you at your choosing, to deploy these resources into new investments or to pay off/consolidate outstanding debt.

But did not specify other than debt consolidation.

There are other loan types out that can be used for that but a "debt consolidation" loan is underwritten in a different manner. 

I recommend making a few improvements in this area going forward...DST provides a consolidated Schedule E for the property. 

i could also consolidate a car loan which by the time I add all my current payments i'm still saving some $300 a month. 

It gets paid off with the sale of the property, consolidated into a first mortgage, and even sometimes paid-off with large unexpected earnings.

Cries of evil socialism from those who don't realize they already live in a system with A LOT of socialist elements, and the poor being vilified as the source of our ills....Get them distracted and fighting among themselves while we consolidate power. 

Many strive for simplicity, in consolidating their portfolio are targeting one large deals instead of 100 smaller ones.
