Bond fund holders are making a strong return with both high yields and fund values increasing with rates declining. 

My portfolio is stabilized and while it's not totally passive, I have strong PMs in place.  

In working on construction loan financing, the lender informed me I'll need to unencumber that portion of the property (makes sense) before closing on the construction loan.I understand there to be two methods generally speaking: refinancing my mortgage and removing that portion of the property in the process OR attaining a partial release from the lender to remove that land.I *strongly* want to avoid refinancing as I have an amazing rate, but partial releases seem complex and also require a survey.

If you connect with a good real estate attorney, s/he will certainly have a strong lease for you to use.

While I haven't listened to that episode, I generally advise similar clients to have a certain # of months of operating expenses in reserve to cover repairs/capex.

You should have a clause in your lease agreement or an addendum detailing their responsibilities along with penalties for violations.At Keyrenter North Jersey Property Management, there are a couple things we always go back to when making these decisions:- How can we provide the best value/service to clients and tenants?

Why "owner financing" clients? 

This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

We deal with this for clients often. 

I always recomend clients against low class out of state deals as it often just doesn't work well.
