Professional property managers are skilled in market analysis and can help set rental rates that attract tenants while maximizing profitability.Tenant Retention: Good tenants are a property owner's greatest asset.

It is hard to sell a property when you have such a good rate and it is possible that it could cash flow done correctly.You sound like you might be interested in commercial mixed use, it's one of my favorite asset classes out there because it's diversified in and of itself.

But here are some really interesting numbers...Ok so this one doesn't look too bad but notice how much more the townhouses and condos dropped in prices over the last downturn.2007 peak to now isn't so good...Before the 2007 run up to now is better, but even then, apartment condos performed the worse (so best case scenario, you have the worse performing asset type, worse case scenario you had a terrible return), and that's assuming you had nothing go wrong with the condo (special assessment etc)But benchmarks don't even tell the whole story, because if you had a specific condo investment, and you tracked it's value overtime, benchmark prices isn't the right approach as it evolves overtime (benchmark price is the price of a typical property generated at each point in time).

In my situation, we kept the property in the current loan which has been a nice cash flowing asset for both of us.
