Occasionally, I will miss a small damage item like $20 worth, but in the grand scheme the advantages of this system fair outweighs anything small I might miss. 

Areas like Quincy have appreciated tremendously but in the relative scheme of Boston would be considered "emerging" for Boston. 

It will increase cash flow, reduce leverage, and the only downside is that the total asset value would be 50% lower, so I would get appreciation only on $150,000 and not on $300,000, but overall in the grand scheme of things I think it makes more sense, rather than scraping $100 a month but feel like you're fully optimized and every penny allocated according to the spreadsheet.I also realize everyone's risk tolerance and situation is different, if I have to sum it up this situation to me feels like a no brainer because numbers wise (trust me I ran the numbers) - cash flow would remain the same (assuming I went on with cashing out and buying more) but with lower debt so more room for error, and where I am "missing out" is debt paydown which again, with these rates is really insignificant, and appreciation on a higher total amount of assets, which I'm happy to give up on for the time being and swap it for greater peace of mind.What are your thoughts?

Paint colour, cabinets, counter, tile, flooring, locks, pulls, window coverings, toilets, sinks, faucets, ext colours, and on and on... yes, every property in unique, but that doesn’t mean you should be buying 1 farmhouse style, one ultra modern, one apartment condo, one townhouse etc and reinventing your system each time.

Seems like a ton of risk when you can get that yield right now in much less "creative" schemes - if you are going to do something like this, wouldn't you want much higher upside potential?

In the big scheme of things, this really is a cheap education and a new tool in my tool belt to draw on moving forward.DonaldSent from my iPad**************************************************No where did I say that I was happy that Lifestyle Unlimited has choose to leave me hanging when they are the ones with the leverage.  

But I got a little greedy I will admit and I tried a scheme that was not known or proven to me.. and he failed miserably..

I am not looking for a quick get rich scheme but want to rather build toward a portfolio.

Are they the ideal tenant, of course not but in the grand scheme of things paying late (with the late fee) doesn't on its own make them a below average tenant.

Not sure what the other color schemes are but I like a Charcoal Gray.
