Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.  

One year ago, I was hired to help a landlord whose tenant had stopped paying.

One of our residents was robbed outside of this property and we ended up paying for the resident to move out and sold this property.

I have a w2 job that pays just enough but looking for opportunities to increase my income to invest more aggressively. 

Your tenants can only continue paying similar rents if they remain employed at similar wages.

Often the best risk, hassle and tax-free approach is to pay down debt.If you have a car note, credit cards, etc pay those off first. 

Happy to let this property do what rental property does best- pay for itself.

They are lending to people who are so desperate they will pay 16+% for the loan.  

If I'm paying good money for a tool, the last thing I want is someone looking over my shoulder.
