Idea would be to sell off the low ROE properties and funnel the profits into paying down those that cash flow better. 

The issue I personally see is that we (Realtors) meet with sellers, show the data, and sellers tell us "Yeah, but the market is hot, so we want to maximize our profit, let's go $50-75K over your suggested price and see what happens.

Locally, I know an investor that runs a crazy profitable trailer park where he is probably pulling in a 20%+ annual return on his investment - but he has to self-manage because no one will touch it, collects rent and deals with evictions armed, and has several "overseers" living for free on site to make sure no one burns the park down.

You can always charge an electricity fee on top of rent, might even profit off it but definitely more of a hassle.

I purchased my childhood home from my father for about $100k less than market last June and the original plan was to hold for 2 years which takes me to June 2025, do minimal renovations, then sell and take the profit from the sale and purchase one or two more investment properties.

Work hard, study hard, save your money, and buy a profitable property. 

You deserve every penny of profit you earned!

I know that if I could get my foot in the door that long term profitability is relative, but entry point here is much higher.
