If they weren't that successful then are they the best people to be dishing out paid advice?

@Danielle B be VERY careful with S8 "gurus". 

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

Another alternative here could be refinancing although it is likely your rate is well below today's rates.This is not financial advice, I am not a lender... just sharing some insights that have been shared recently. 

So your super basic P&L may look like: $30,000 Rents-$3,000 insurance expense -$9,000 interest-$3,000 taxes-$8,000 operating expenses-$14,000 depreciation ----------------$7,000 loss on paper for the year  so negative taxable income But remember- $14k of that (depreciation) was something we didn't actually spend money on- so cash in bank at year end would be $7,000. 

Hi Chris,My advice would be to start by doing your own research.

We have a niche market due to the hospital and university which has pros and cons but my properties have continued to perform well for me.  

I attend many of them myself.I'd be happy to connect.  

We negotiated a deal with the owner for 20% Equity, we are responsible for infilling the community as well as property management (which we also get paid separately for).
