@Ricardo A Perez I'll try to consolidate some of the responses...You do NOT pay tax on cash flow; you pay tax on taxable income. 

But I wanted to consolidate a bit here.

It took 3 years of purposeful sales and consolidation to turn 93% of my portfolio into tax-efficient, hassle-free income streams.Now I have a scary amount of time freedom and am revisiting old hobbies, writing and working on getting involved with causes I care about So the end game for me was setting up income streams while helping others so I can focus on bigger things if I want to.  

There has been huge consolidation in this industry in NJ. 

Thanks.Is there not a way to consolidate cards or transfer a balance from one card to another?

You can simply consolidate and make BiggerPockets your hub or activity!

Also, home equity loans have to be used for home improvements and secured by the house (no loan consolidations or purchasing a car) in 2018.I may have not answered directly but I think the refinance play would be desirable if you would want to cash out refi to consolidate debt or fund another purchase.

Perhaps you should get a GC that gives free estimates or consolidation to come and have a look to give you a quote on site.

Insurance is consolidated with the Series, one tax billing may be accomplished.

But you should encourage him while he's mind and body able to consolidate and release the less likely property as soon as he can,, he's paying property taxes, insurance, utilities and some upkeep to maintain a empty house,, that is lost money.. get aggressive and maybe do a contract for deed or lease option to buy.. or if it's smart to keep it get it rented out.
