They see a renewal of the current business tax rates, regulation and permitting rules getting slashed, tax code being simplified, and federal deficits on a one-way ticket down the elevator (which are a longterm drag on economic productivity).Just look at the growth in tax code complexity over the last 20 years.

Depending on the property far more than the acquisition price may be required and that will also dictate the best loan product. 

Not sure if that is still legal or even translates in today's world of everything online but seemed like a good screening tool to me at the time. 

Personally as an investor, we have recast our growth goals several times over the years, but ultimately if you invest for your lifestyle you don't need 100s of doors - that is actually counter productive.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

@Nicole ShoafYou are correct and have equity locked up in those units, a good lender can give you options on HELOCs or other loan products that could help get some equity out without selling.

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

An "investment advisor" from a Bank of America branch strongly advised against it with a passion, which successfully deterred me at the last moment.
