Funny how the politicians of the world can benefit the most by directly causing one of the worst economic collapses in history by artificially impacting markets and then the gov is probably the only sector to have grown exponentially thru this period as a result.  

I myself am trying to do just that, so I plan to take my own medicine on this subject.  

Since you have held rent artificially low, it has trained them to believe that is normal, which is not the case.The hard part is that you waited so long.

This is partially artificial because the federal reserve had lowered prime significantly (the rate they lend money to banks) to help stimulate the economy.

Additionally, the interest rate has been held down artificially low for too long as well.

I may transition my financial planning business to accrual at some point because I have many accounts receivable and it would be easier to use accrual method for taxes than the artificial entries I make every year to close my books and then re-open them.

But, the one thing we can't predict is the potential cost savings in the future due to technological advancements in medicine/healthcare. 

If it still produces good positive cash flow with a hypothetical 100% financing it is worth keeping and pulling out your equity otherwise you are artificially supporting a lame duck with your own cash. 

I recently bought a property near Atlanta doing lot of analytics and data related research myself (didn't just go with what some website told me that xyz is the hot market)  - Not sure if I am right or wrong about the market yet but the whole process of getting a tenant and PM was daunting especially since I'm out of state and BP folks have been wonderful and have learned a lot from the folks here - Thanks again to all of you)Back to this topic:  The idea of positive cash flow since I closed my first OOS investment property has stuck my mind and I have been following lot of topics on where to invest and sometimes artificial social proof that people say I have 10 units planning to by X more makes you believe that you have to buy more.
