These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

I guess they think these investors are accredited so a fee structure is a good model.

Some people only want 10-20% of their outstanding lines/debt balances available while the other 80-90% to be in fixed rate notes.

If you pay off your mortgage (which is a good interest rate), you will likely burn through that cash flow as it is more accessible, AND that money isnt working for you anymore (unless you reinvested it).  

Congrats on your success so far.Some random thoughts for you:- It might be difficult to tap the equity in the rental at this time given the current state of interest rates.
