Self-driving cars are potentially amazing, but they need to capture a lot of nuance and complexities.

I chose to invest in 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, due to its potential in a growing market.

Here’s a thought:Step back and evaluate which properties, if any, are truly worth keeping based on current performance and future potential.

Apparently some pretty sketchy people from that building are hanging out in front of mine which is scaring potential tenants away when our property manager brings them around.

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

I’d love your input on whether this deal could appeal to investors and how best to structure it.Property Details:Worth: ~$300,000HOA: $273/month, Taxes/Insurance: ~$170/monthCurrent Rent: $1,880/month (long-term); next tenant advertised at $1,950/month.Mid-term rental potential: ~$2,400/month (I haven’t tried this, but it’s my estimate).My Financing Idea:Large down payment: ~$125,000 (This is my priority to reinvest elsewhere).Seller-financed balance: ~$175,000 at 4.25% for 30 years.Buyers take over taxes, insurance, and HOA.Questions:1.

As for the increase in rental potential on the properties.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Some of the most expensive and difficult properties in the country (and world) to develop were vaporized into potentially un-developable lots.

Diversifying your portfolio could reduce risk and improve overall returns.Higher Cash Flow Potential: If you redeploy the equity into markets with higher cash-on-cash returns, you could significantly increase your monthly cash flow.
