And my only responsibility-involvement is to receive a consolidated monthly wire transfer from the management company .

Hello @Philip AbbeyThere are many things to consider and it also depends a lot on what kind of personality you have (Risk taker, self motivated etc) so there is no one answer fits it all.Of course if your interest is over 8 percent on those loans i would strongly recommend you to pay them off first / consolidate the loans into one loan with lower interest rate and invest.For me personally i know that i can make more than a single digit return on my money + tax benefits so if my loans are less than that i wouldn't try to pay them off faster.

One of the major overhauls of Dodd-Frank includes to consolidation of regulatory authority between various federal and state agencies, sets up defined areas of responsibility for agencies dealing in areas of consumer protection, not just real estate financing but related financial transactions.

Cardone's main principles are sound.  1. be invested in workforce housing.   2. more consolidated units, more down-side protection. 3. be careful about reliance on your sfr for equity. 

Few factors that drove me to mf right out of the gate: 1) only get so many Fannie/Freddie loans on traditional financing so I wanted as many doors under each loan as possible 2) can consolidate cap ex protects like new roof/siding (though keep in mind, bigger/taller property will mean more $$ for each project than a sfh--though still cheaper as a whole) 3) closing costs are roughly the same for a sfh or triplex so better to get a 3 for 1, 4) especially if youre out of state like I am, easier to track and manage everything for 6 units in two properties rather than 6 separate properties (I use property management but you still need to monitor/manage the pm).

Also used RUBS program, added storage, and are exploring consolidating cable and wi-fi contracts.

I've owned these since 2007, I'm selling because I want to consolidate my rental properties and get a few paid off.Now I know the money numbers will likely be different due to the private lender option, this still looks like a good deal to me.I have a question, First, what numbers would begin to make this deal 'bad'?

Or consolidate debts. 

In a year when I finish my rehab, I’ll get a new loan and consolidate so the debt sits just on the rental.

The market may go into consolidation, meaning no or low appreciation; that might be the cyclial reaction, but still not a crash.
