I hope all of this makes sense. ...i understand we love to hear ourselves talk but i think you're missing my point. actually you may be missing several of them.first and foremost you're not gonna give me $50,000.according to the amortization table, you ARE going to pay off that loan according to schedule or else. whether it comes out of your pocket or your tenant's is immaterial to your outstanding loan balance.the portion of your mortgage payment that is interest is tax deductible. your write offs decrease every month as the principle portion gradually decreases for the life of the loan. people either move or refinance every 7 years so the write offs can reset on a new loan... but how's that going for the folks moving from a %3 loan to a %7+ loan today?

As my portfolio expands, I can gradually increase their salary, albeit at a slower pace than what it would cost to outsource the property management.
