It is much more difficult to sell an entire portfolio that has become uninsurable (which would require a cash only sale) or that insurance rates are so high that no one wants to buy. 

@Kevin Hintz It's property dependent, obviously, but last year, I sold one a street back from the beach that they're cash flowing.

.- Revolving Credit & Liquidity Management:Instead of taking out separate loans for each property, consider portfolio financing and cross-collateralization strategies to streamline funding and improve cash flow.- Creative Financing Solutions:Options like subject-to deals, seller financing, and syndications can lower capital requirements and increase your purchasing power while providing flexibility for properties with complex financial situations.4.

I am researching my first deal in town (a foreclosure), and hoping to slowly but surely acquire properties for cash flow and retirement security. 

We are BRRRRing it and we’re originally going to rent traditionally, however we decided to look into it as an Airbnb, and when we put in current loan rates which will be near or at 7% when we are ready, we’d only cash flow about $150 a month 😱, but as an Airbnb our projections are around $1,300 cash in our pockets monthly. 💰 At this point is a no brainer 🧠 and we know if it doesn’t work out or we don’t like doing it we can always revert to a traditional rental. 

I just don't think you can expect a property to cash flow when you're putting 3.5% down.

If I have some cash do you recommend clearing the loan or invest instead for next property with proper planning ? 

If the deal is right you can use hard/ private money to finance the home purchase and some or all of the repairs, then do a cash out refinance to pay off your hard/private money. 

.- >65K in rent collected- having someone to bring in Amazon packages when it is raining outside- generally having someone to watch over the property when out of town oftenI think the headache is worth it.

My preferred market buyers being investors and cash-buyers.
