You’d be able to pull out $330,455, which is significantly more than your initial $236,930 investment.Your Initial Investment Back: This means that in 5 years, you’ll not only get your original investment back but also keep an additional $93k in your pocket.However, there’s a downside:Negative Cash Flow Impact: Over the next 5 years, due to the negative cash flow of $1,229 per month, your total cumulative loss will be $(60,153).

Once you walk a property, you often have to throw your original underwriting out the window.

Your payment may remain about the same as the original deal!

Alternatively, your brother could buy your share, which would result in capital gains tax for you on the difference between your share's original cost and its current value.

@Treza Edwards  your original question may answer itself when you say there is not much new construction going on. 

My suggestion to consult your accountant or tax prepared referring to points which also know as loan origination fee and interest rate how this will affect and will this be an advantage for your business?

Agree that we should not be spending a lot on renovations or repairs, but almost everything needed replacements/updates after we turned over the original tenants.
