My thoughts are current housing supply + high rates + high home prices in OR are restricting our options and liquidating the brokerage to pay off the townhouse = $400k asset + $2,400 cash flow that we could then use to leverage or save into buying another property outright or scale into 4 plex and use the rent to pay down that mortgage too.

Cleveland and Dayton can be great markets for high cash flow and low purchase prices, but you need to be careful when navigating the neighborhoods so you're not buying in a D/F class area where no property managers will manage and where you'll never see any positive cash flow.

High property prices mean fewer people can afford to buy, so more people rent.
