Generally, I would be tree trimming once a year to cut back any branches hanging over the houses because of potential damage, but also because of insect transfer.

I am prioritizing cash flow and number of units to try to mitigate some risk of all the eggs in one basket.  

But hanging onto to some of those rates isn't always a bad idea. 

Let one Tennant hanging with defective outlets in the kitchen for 2 weeks when the townhouse was it was under warranty.

I would prefer not to keep all my eggs in one basket.

You are going to most likely have a stranger hang on to several hundred thousand of your dollars.

It's so easy to have some magnetic signs hanging around to throw on your other vehicle if you want to go do a bid and not take your big ole truck.I have no answer as to why they don't take advantage of this.....it's just dumb (maybe there's your answer :-) I have the company name on 3 out of 4 work trucks .

By hanging on to the property as a rental and selling the lots, the future value outweighs selling right now.  

I agree with you about the amount of sub 2 deals out there that make any kind of sense I get the feeling investor just think these things are out there as low hanging fruit to be plucked.. when nothing is further from the truth at least deals that would make sense to me and you .. of course there are always suckers that think over paying or paying full retail just to do a sub 2 is some great move. :)  but its like any paid training the reality of deal flow is greatly glossed over.

Maybe it's just the price, so if you can't lower the price, maybe refi and hang on to it until the spring buying season.
