In the short term there may be some hiccups given what I have heard.

Many times, when i replace a water heater and take a look into some of the short pipes that connect, they are approx 80 percent closed. 

Hey @Scott Trench unfortunately real estate losses (active or passive) will not offset portfolio income from stock sale gains. 

Your decision to lease this property for short periods is what makes this a short term rental property, not the property itself.

Assuming these are for short-term loans, such as for flips, @Keith Groshans, you could do what we do and let the borrower keep the money and pay everything when they sell the property.

I am at 1757% less this year in stocks as compared and I thought that was great.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

.: Does anyone have any information about the short term rental market in Kyle Texas?

Option 2: Sell them and split the proceeds.Considerations: - Immediate liquidity: I would have cash on hand for new rental or stock investments. - Eliminate mortgage obligation: Selling would relieve me of the mortgage. - Able to keep the retirement fund that was going to be used to buy out the equity

I've been doing some studying on short sales but still working to understand it better.
