same goes for anything else that takes hard work to produce results, like the gym and eating healthy.

Now my portion of principal is now much more than my interest portion each month while having access to the good-sized heloc whenever I find an investment that produces higher returns than my interest rate.

I am working on an assignment that requires me to produce an Investment Committee Memo. 

How do position myself to purchase an income producing commercial property?

So I'm looking for ways to take advantage of my current position and move towards growing the portfolio into one that produces some income for myself and family, AND allows me to move towards bigger & bigger properties.Thanks in advance for any insight!

How much are they producing in income? 

I enjoy doing it, I rent to section 8 tenants and love the kind of cash flow my units produce; I think my favorite part of self-managing is that every time I visit my properties I am reminded of how absolutely amazing my life is and how bad I could have it. 

@Frank Wolter Great example of the American dream i.e. what fruits of your labor can produce.

You take control of it by producing your own business and your own leads.

Just hypothetical numbers, but if it supports the payment with income producing property and gives you cash flow, it's a no brainer.
