Because after purchasing the new rental for $700K that leaves them $300K initially, so take $260K to pay off their mortgage, and still enough left to cover a good chunk of the taxes owed. 

Hi Saul,Vegas and Phoenix are on the pricier side, so you'll need to put a large down-payment down if you want to cover all your expenses with some cash leftover. 

All which they cover in the training. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

My business partner and I financed the deal for 1272 Lakins Rd entirely with cash, covering both the purchase and all renovation costs.

IF you plan on going back someday, and this is the home you want to move back to, then renting it would be a good idea as long as you estimate that it will cover itself, or preferably, cash flow, which it appears that yours will at @ $2K or so per month (after expenses). 

Bed bugs, evictions, people stealing copper, all that crap that comes with investing there. 

This is obviously much better than $1,400 per month.On top of that, you will now get 2x the depreciation write-off so your taxes should go down.On top of that, you will now get 2x the appreciation when real estate price go up.On top of that, your tenants are helping you pay down the loan, initially at about $100/mo for both properties, which gradually gets better and better.On top of that, you now have more units so if one or two goes vacant, you have more renters covering the losses of the vacant units.If you want to keep these properties, I would do a cash-out refi and go buy more rental real estate.
