Hey Deirdre,To address your questions:Providing freedom by handling day-to-day operations.Offering peace of mind through proactive maintenance and tenant communication.Reducing risks by staying ahead of legal requirements, tenant screening, and dispute resolution.Enhancing the bottom line by identifying cost-saving opportunities while ensuring tenant satisfaction to reduce turnover.Is the experience still important when the property thrives financially?

In contrast, value-add multifamily properties like the Michigan apartment complex offer:Immediate cash flow exceeding bond yields.Significant upside potential through renovations and operational improvements.A position at the bottom of the market cycle, with strong tailwinds expected in the years ahead.For investors willing to explore opportunities beyond fixed-income investments, the current CRE market offers a compelling case.

You are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to prioritization.

Bottom line: the tenant doesn't get to decide how to pay you.

The bottom line was that tax strategizing would only have made a significant difference the year my partner and I got married.

Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health) and choose the one that is most “stable” with the best potential for long term tenancy.This advice is contrary to maximization of rental income, but IMO will reduce expenses of tenant turnover, property damage, property management fees so much that the difference in bottom line income will be quite small.  

If the answer is yes, then it's a no brainer to make minimum payments on your 2.8% interest rate mortgage, and use the funds that you would have paid extra to pay it down faster, to either invest in more real estate, the market, or anywhere else where you can get a ROI > 2.8%.If the answer is no, then feel free to aggressively pay it down as fast as possible, to become debt-free faster, and just have a large amount of money in savings or to splurge with.The bottom line is that your 2.8% mortgage is GOOD debt.

Consider putting the property up for sale and get your life back on track, then try investing again. bottom feeder investors are going to hammer this poor guy..
