To maximise returns you maximise leverage.

Because I operate a business my goals would be to maximise rents immediately.

I would pull as much equity as possible out of Huston and invest to maximise returns if you are not prepared to sell.I also believe you need to centralize your investments and move away from SFHs.

@Jason DillardThe reality is that most small investors have next to no concern regarding maximising returns.

You maximise income through # of doors.

When you take ownership the best approach is to push to full market immediately to maximise profits long term.

Hi James... it seems that if they are still building then your most favorable deal would talk to them sooner rather than later in that the the developer can use your land for certain Zoning parts.. parking.. fire access etc. allowing them the maximise the best buildable area for homes.  

This got me thinking that the best time to maximise the value of the pool ( if I end up keeping it) is to sell in the summer when people are excited about it versus the excruciating winter.

How about you try negotiating an interest only loan of 4.5% for a couple years to maximise NOI and keep your debt low and keep refinancing?

Brokers are willing to do this because they only get paid a commission when a property is sold so they’ll work with tons of investors and find their ideal properties to maximise their commissions.
