However, its a personal preference and if you'd feel better paying off your mortgage to decrease your debt so you sleep better at night thats not necessarily a horrible move.

The amount we have been asking for the past 2 months is at the 11am position on the clock.We just decreased it to the 10am position.Originally posted by @Brian Garlington:Go onto rentometer and type in your address....that should give you an idea if you're asking the right amount of rent.

This decreases your profit. 

It's like developing your muscles. 

Originally posted by @Hai Loc:@David ZhengI saw an article today stating that July 2018 was the first time there was a month by month increase in foreclosures after 36 consecutive months of decreases.I wonder if this is a sign..Logically, it would be impossible for foreclosures to keep decreasing month over month forever.

The nation’s rate decreased from 4.3 to 3.9 percent.All Texas industries except the information industry had more jobs.

I will probably need to add a line for vendors and a line for maintenance salaries, which should theoretically decrease the maintenance and CapEx numbers a bit. 

I would force appreciation if are able to add value, raise rents, decrease expenses and refinance asap to pull the free money out.

Decrease payments to a minimum which decreases monthly bleed?

Potential Refinanced Mortgage (we've gotten quoted info from our normal lender): 5.625% interest,  $84,000 balance (so lets say we get $25,000 cash out), payment goes to $816.23 so cash flow would decrease to $398.77 and would allow us to purchase an additional property that is my estimation could make up for the lost cash flow.
