Your return on equity is pretty terrible so I would advise you unlock some of the capital, either by selling or taking out a HELOC.I always like the idea of keeping a property and getting a HELOC because you get to reap the rewards of equity without sacrificing your cashflow or the long term benefits of holding property.

People claiming that sacrificing your spending money in order to save will build wealth is nothing new.

they are just lonely".Even a small operator with a couple million in RE would find it difficult to unload them as a package without sacrificing a good bit of equity.

Looked like someone sacrificed a copper calf all over the place.

I ask questions, qualifying my responses before I suggest sacrificing and not eating out, not having a car payment, etc.
