Can provide all the benefits from a cash flow and tax perspective.

Weigh the long-term benefits of the low mortgage rate you have versus selling and getting $500k from a sale exempt from capital gains tax.

Here is a presentation I made describing the benefit of doing such vs a regular investment.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

You have to weigh the benefit of the insurance claim payment versus potentially having your carrier cancel you and perhaps get black-balled by the insurance industry.

One huge benefit of a private/HML loan is the strength of making an offer when competing with cash buyers.

The perceived benefit to the investor is they either get the inflated price, or if the deal goes "bad" and the tenant defaults they get to keep all the deposit money and rent and all that.

I just acquired one from a PM where they were charging a tenant a resident benefit package and a building protection plan.  

And that BNB that just got 40% of their investment back is now competing with you, the small investor with a single condo that you paid full price for with no tax benefit.
