Have now been told my depreciation schedule for my rental properties has been lost in a move.

The dumbest thing I’ve ever done was paying off my first two rentals and trying to pay off my primary.

You are already succeeding by living for free, which will increase what you can save for the next investment.1-2 years later, buy another one and turn the first property into a pure rental.

One challenge to manage is being able to clarify for lenders on those rentals (if you have them) which amount of the premium should be paid for each rental so that they do not include the entire premium into their escrow analysis, inflating your monthly payment on that rental. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts:Are you seeing this same rental demand in your investments?

To make a long story short, they are no longer able to make payments on the property and are in danger of losing it.I have a rental property in Southern California that I currently own whose value if I sell should cover the outstanding loan balance on the farm.

I specialize in single family rental properties in the Huntsville area and this area has a proven track record of increasing home values.

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate). 

I have over a hundred rental units I own and operate in Utah everything from homes and condos to larger multifamily.Salt Lake County has higher property taxes and is basically built out already and Ogden even though you can find good opportunities in the long run it won't be able to compete with South Utah County or Eagle Mountain. 

Once you identify a good PM, talk to them about transferring each rental as they become available.
