Be careful it does not go into default : mature as the fees pretty much typically double

That’s before factoring in utilities or each personal situation.

Generally, you shouldn’t pay off your mortgage early unless you can pay all of it off. it’s better to have it as reserve (in case of lost job etc) and given the typically low rate you can generally get a better return else where.

For example, in some cases even when the home is livable a seller might turn off utilities on a vacant house to save money.

The slowest months of the year are typically October - December.

While I don’t suggest that the smaller type investor purchase and utilize “exotic” vehicles like foreign asset protection trusts, family limited partnerships with outside controls, or Byzantine or convoluted maze of ownership entities, the more simple strategies of using Series LLCs, self directed retirement plans, and paying off their home mortgage to the extent of the Federal BK homestead exemptions can insure that a plaintiff attorney never even considers going after them.  

Home sales typically decrease during the winter months.

@Jonah Gunalda you fit the profile of a large segment of the passive investing community--someone who has a good income from something they are really good at, and would like exposure to real estate in their investment portfolio without distracting them from that very vocation that put them in the position to make such an investment in the first place.There probably isn't a "typical" profile of folks who do not and would not invest in syndications. 

It is not too good to be true as your mortgage should typically be around 50% of the rental income.

Typically, residents remain unaware unless they observe property tours or inspections.
