@Michelle Reid Both LTR and STR strategies are viable and currently producing good results in the current market, which isn't easy to find everywhere else.

Thinking about 1031 option and buying more income producing properties possibly in other parts of the country.   

With an extra vacancy or a maintenance issue or an extra turnover, this is definitely a negative cash flow producing investment.So when you say the rent growth and value growth have exceeded your expectations, I would love to have you respond as to how that is possibly the case. 

The refi or additional debt of any kind will impact the current performance of your property I'm never a great fan of selling a good producing property - unless I am certain I can improve the overall performance of my portfolio. 

.✅ Thirdly, in regard to objectionable tenancy and nuisance caused by disruptive tenants, you will need to document these violations with undeniable evidence.Because police reports are not usually able to be procured due to disturbances like drug trafficking or domestic violence, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands on producing that documentation.I recommend getting security cameras installed in all common areas and outside your properties.I’ve used SimpliSafe security cameras but you’ll need to install WiFi service at your properties so that you can maintain recordings in the event of violations and add to your lease that any tampering with said cameras constitutes a lease violation as well.This is still developing and once we get further clarity, we will host a round table with legal experts on how to best protect our properties and residents.

This implies the higher ratio areas actually produce lower cash flow over long holds.- it does not forecast rent growth or appreciation into the calculation.Those are not areas i desire to invest.  

We truly believe that you'll find significant value in the Academy program we have spent over a year producing.

Then when it aligns, start doing it.Books and videos are as good as the time they were produced, you're going to want to get a pulse on the actual beat of the floor. 

,We discovered over the course of this discussion that more smaller extra payments produces less benefit than fewer, larger "chunks". 

Each strategy produces slightly different rent rates.
