Paid-in-full real estate almost always results in sub-optimal returns.Do this math. 

Therefore, I want a partner because I have had success in multiple markets in the south, west, and east to help with those expenses so I can help more sellers.Can you share more information about private lenders or what strategy may be optimal? 

I am also looking for tax optimization as the business will require cash reserves and is a high risk business from a liability perspective.

Just be mindful to keep relationships with your tenants strong.I’m curious... if you had to pick just one route right now..sell, refinance, or optimize..where do you think you’d lean, and why?

Focus on optimizing the current fourplexes (improving rents, reducing expenses).
