I’ve consulted several different people and they have told me in my situation as an investor expanding their portfolio it makes more sense to keep the extra cash as opposed to paying down rentals.

My mortgage increased earlier this year as my home owners insurance went up due to the company closing and my escrow didn’t have enough to make up the difference so I’m kind of pay check to pay check right now.

I am only familiar with the contract in my state but items seller agrees to do based on inspection findings are their responsibility unless spelled out differently.  

Lawyers like doctors specialize in different areas of practice.

Chase or B of A or any bank isn't going to be much different than each other.

A NNN lease is completely different and I would agree, much more hands off  

There's no one size fits all of course, but generally the STR/MTR/LTR mix in a multi-family unit can be challenging because the way renters utilize these properties is so different.

There is some additional information that wasn't mentioned in your post above which sheds a different light on the situation.  1.

When next you need money, or want to sell a property, you have to sell ALL of the properties unless the lender allows differently.

It is obviously for a different reason but the idea is same either what kind of business you are in.
