Most people know my investing situation and know that my partner handles most of the day to day operations while I handle the bookkeeping, website and other “behind the scenes” activities.

I've had my share of experiences, both good and bad but since fully moving out of my house things have become nightmarish.

. : )I imagine the scene would look similar to this.

Paying off a rental mortgage is not good business scenes as having money lying dead in a property kills the cash flow.

Not grab it all at once and hope nobody notices.Most likely, it's a behind the scenes decision that wasn't thoroughly researched before it was implemented.

It is great, they set it up so it's paid before you even see the money and it's basically working behind the scenes, so you don't have to deal with payments, etc...The only thing is I felt guilty using the money until it was paid off....and I think that's because it's really a reserve for "just in case" moments...But once you get your own approval, it worked out well and was extremely easy to do...Good luck!

Think Wizard of Oz  scene when the witch is melting....but yes some investors consider Vegas and Phoenix as sort of part of Socal for investments.

@Jacob PereiraNot calling out anyone, just I like to look behind the scene. 

I have always wanted to check the detroit investment scene myself but have not made the jump!
