That may not apply to you, as a financial professional, but I thought I would share the story.Obiously you could re-lever your portfolio to bring the ROE back up, but then you have to place those borrowed funds somewhere that nets a high enough return that the portfolio is ahead, given the drag of the interest and any transaction fees.    

If that is true I would probably sell and buy in a place where there is less competition.   

Truthfully it is really pretty easy if you put the right systems in place.

If it's not a holiday, I would say, "No, the deposit remains in place until your lease ends."

A lot of folks were plucking stuff off the MLS, putting a tenant in place, and cash flowing.

They suggest, you buy and place. 

4) What do their places look like, how do they feature their professional pictures?

However we do circle back to the investment in the first place and it appears the investors did not understand the risk ..

The discipline to run on a budget for a number of years or decades depending on your math, doesn't factor in emergencies or market changes where the HELOC could be used to invest in other places.

Section 8 works best for me when you can place a good tenant in a decent community.
