I was able to grow very quickly and when I grew tired of real estate at age 29, I had 206 different partners.

Hey All,The question I have for all you self managing landlords today is, does anyone have any good tips or tricks (I don't mean actually tricking your tenant) into a simple and stress free way of having them sign a new year lease with slight rent increase about 2.5% Ive been doing this for years now and Ive just come to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old "Oh well we are going to probably be moving" or "This is broke, I need a new stove, bathroom, car..."

Both vehicles belong on the scrap heap. 

There are many qualified buyers out there just kicking tires and wasting seller's time and patience.

I have heard that getting funding for MH's is difficult due to them usually being treated as a depreciating vehicle and not as a permanent structure. 

Both vehicles have pros and cons and the optimal portfolio has a combination of both.

Having to re-do a unit tires you out, having them blame you for their problems and their common threats stresses me out way too much. 

I understand the seller/listing agent wanting to avoid tire kickers but I think if they aren't willing to at least give some pertinent information up front (fine with an NDA) then it's likely not worth it.  

The properties are owned by our LLC.Assuming nothing changes from the current tax perspective, what is the "smartest" tax-efficient method of getting this equity out of our investments:1) Cash out refi $1.6m (80% LTV of all the assets) and invest that money in a more liquid (albeit lower return) investment vehicle?

Some items, like flooring, are wear items, just like tires on your car.
