Using a cash value line of credit also enhances returns because it lowers the taxable income of an investment. i.e. if you borrow at 5% and your investment makes 10%, you are only paying tax on the 5% net gain, not the entire 10% gain.All of the pros and cons of this approach have been debated here...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/519/topics/245380-paradigm-life-infinite-banking-whole-life-insurance?

This sort of factor enhances the scarcity of properties which is what leads to their heightened values, desirability and, over time, appreciation in rents.

@Nicky Reader If you're in a situation where you have to evict you're already in very deep s... better to try and resolve it peacefully and offer $ for keys.

If you buy a SFH an hour away and try to self manage while working a demanding job with a family, or try to wholesale on the side, I don’t see either of those strategies as having much of a chance at enhancing your life in a significant way, while there is a real risk that doing either of those things will detract from your ability to advance your career, take time away from your family, and slow down the rate at which you pay off your student loans while adding more debt to the equation and providing very little if any income.

Enhancing my investment, not destroying.There are a number of different return metrics, IRR is one of them. 

The seller has the peace of mind of knowing that the property is under contract and is being maintained by someone motivated to take good care of it because, hopefully he will soon own it"What are your thoughts?

I will ask them to leave peacefully in a time frame we both can work with (end of April).

Tenant and guests or invitees will not use the premises or adjacent areas in such a way as to: (1) violate any law or ordinance, including laws prohibiting the use, possession, growth, manufacture, packaging, or distribution of illegal drugs; (2) commit waste (severe property damage); or (3) create a nuisance by annoying, disturbing, inconveniencing, or interfering with the quiet enjoyment and peace and quiet of any other tenant or nearby resident."

More importantly, I am looking to start networking with investors, investor friendly real estate agents and attend networking events to enhance my portfolio.

All this to say that I can probably fill the units with people in my network who will gladly trade a shared bathroom for peace of mind renting from someone they trust not to harass or micro manage them, invade their personal space, not allow them to get mail, or generally make them feel unwelcome, l which is the main complaint nurses seem to have about the MTR operators.
