• Crowd-sourced projects (think Crowdstreet, Fundrise, Roofstock)• Moving into investment for 2 years and sell (seems extreme and low level of confidence in strong desired results.) • BBD - Bulk everything together into one large investment, cash-out refinance, rinse/repeat (seems like ongoing work like we have today.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

This is the sum of all of the sources of gain including not only cash flow and appreciation but also depreciation and amortization of the loan. 

Is there a reliable source to get this information from other than agents? 

The biggest employer shut down about a year ago and 3  hurricanes (2 major) hit directly in the last year.

The source of the loan does not matter.So yes, if you borrowed $100k and used $50k to buy B and another $50k to buy C - you deduct half of the interest against B and the other half of the interest against C. 

You hit on a tough reality.. inheriting tenants who aren’t prepared to pay on time can be one of the biggest curveballs for a landlord.

@Cole Bossert I think @Sarah Kensinger and others have touched on the biggest qualities, especially communication.

My favorite source is Navy Federal for its long draw period of 20 years, and Figure for its fast funding.  

I stopped reading after reading your subject line...know this:The #1 reason why landlords fail is due to their failure to manage to the lease (Source: American Apartment Owners' Assn). 

We keep making those lists for the biggest rent decreases, highest vacancy, etc.
