I think non-CA RE investors would be shocked at my average monthly return per unit. 

Tough for anyone to beat that in residential RE (<5 units).  

What we did was open a holding company, and the LLC that owns the RE and management company under that.

Have you used the rapid report with Re Cost Seg? 

Selling makes agents money and the IRS if you don''t 1031, it's almost always better to re-leverage instead.

Hi BP Community,I'm a new investor learning the ropes on analyzing RE deals.

I will re-strategize!

I was talking to a RE friend.He said it's a bad time to buy* rates are high* homes are expensive in most marketsLooking to hear some counterpoints. 

That may not apply to you, as a financial professional, but I thought I would share the story.Obiously you could re-lever your portfolio to bring the ROE back up, but then you have to place those borrowed funds somewhere that nets a high enough return that the portfolio is ahead, given the drag of the interest and any transaction fees.    

In 30 years the balloon payment is due to the seller and that's when the taxes are due.Coupling a monetization loan to an installment sale accomplishes the same thing but puts cash in the sellers hands that can be re-invested.
