My current portfolio includes two 3-Bed/2-Bath Single Family's in my home state.

They may sell in a few years when interest rates drop or keep it longer term as cash flow on the property improves!

To access your home equity without selling, you can explore options like a home equity loan, a line of credit (HELOC), or a cash-out refinance.

I do have a very specific and curated buy box, so I know what i'm looking for in terms of zoning, lot size, buildable/improvable sqft, location, etc.With that being said, do you still not recommend going through sheriff sales?

We also have a huge budget allowance from the city over the next few years to improve public transportation measures within the city.

You might choose not to renew leases, make improvements, and then raise rents after taking over.

And I would like to stretch it out longer to improve cash flow.

Centralize your back office / use remote employees / VA where appropriate to cut costs and improve service levels / responsiveness.  5.

Utility improvements.

I have heard vented units don't dry as effectively but haven't heard any complaints from my tenants and believe the technology continues to improve.
