Personally, I dump anything like that into the recycling sight unseen.

Hello Nick,There are a million reasons but the best reason I can think of as a seasoned investor is to recycle down payment funds to reinvest into the next project.

@Marc RothFrom a macro level, we are currently in the growth phase of the RE cycle.  

Hello I am trying to find a way to reduce a huge trash bill (mostly recycle) for a ground floor retail condo units I own. 70% of the bill is due to recycles. 

I spent 8 years as a Realtor, coach and trainer with Keller Williams riding the RE cycle ’04-’11, then returned to the tech industry.

Most had the kitchens, laundry rooms & bathrooms across the back & it was not unusual to find Chickens running wild & a cow or goat in the bathroom being milked.  

Acquire foreclosed properties at a discount, rehab, place a tenant and then refinance cash out my original down payment funds to recycle into the next project.

Little money out of pocket and when you refinance into a long term debt loan, you may be able to get your original down payment funds out to recycle into the next project while leaving 25-30% equity in the property as well.

The key to growing a rental portfolio at a reasonably fast pace is to acquire foreclosed properties that require rehab, therefore the equity position may be large enough to refinance cash out your original down payment funds to recycle into the next property.

This money can eventually be pulled out and recycled but I'll leave that for another discussion.
