@Kenneth Joseph PerfidoFrom my experience, you’re in a great position with your Newport property, strong cash flow, and a low 2.8% interest rate.

The biggest change was in the Road's End neighborhood.

We bought the stair tops from Lowes and had them delivered to our house.

Not that I don’t enjoy dealing with tenants, maintenance, lawn care, Home Depot and Lowe’s trips and tenant change overs (I recently put new carpets, kitchen floor, appliances, vanity and mirror in the bathroom and fresh paint in my upstairs unit).

This deal is a multi unit building that has low rents, but doesn't really need any repairs.
