Why not take out a loan from the equity to pay off that debt?

Most of the calls we property owners telling me my check amount was well below what they would sell their property if they were interested in selling which they weren't.We are disappointed and don't know which way to go with our Direct Mail marketing!

I would keep it at "reasonable market rent" (whatever that means).

My problem i is my market is super expensive if I stay in the nyc area and I don’t have the confidence since I don’t have any actual experience to invest out of state do you guys think paying off my mortgage would be more beneficial than looking for more rentals .

End his lease, and find a tenant willing and able to pay market rate.

It’s a buffer against market swings.

Quote from @Robert B Azimi: A restaurant that’s doing great business feels he shouldn’t pay the rent on time for the last 4 months every month we had to post 3 day notice to pay  rent or quit on his front door for him to deign to pay his rent What legal action we could take to make him understand he is not the landlord we are he must pay his rent on time?

@James Anderson, Realtors can potentially have off market deals to share.

It could be possible that he is an honest guy and just using outdated marketing methods which is DAMAGING his brand and reputation. 

The tenant deposit covers DAMAGES, not wear and tear. 90% of tenants want a decent place to live, market rent, and a good tenant landlord relationship, and pay rent on time.
