I would then get an investment loan for as much as possible on the property you own to where the property would still cash flow a few hundred dollars a month and then I would sell it on a 4-year lease option to an end buyer for 5-7% higher than current market value and I would collect a premium rent of $50 - $100 higher than current rents.

Here are my strategies to make my properties hardier for a recession hit:1) Using cash flow, pay of all short term debt, from friends and family and some credit cards. 2) Make sure all the deposits collected from tenants is in a separate accounts and is not touched by daily operations.

@Victoria Crump Navy Federal stated that my DTI was too high and I had a medical collection.

Maybe they like to collect social media contacts/colleagues/friends.

What was actually collected?

Cash flow from collecting funds from the golf course 2.

You'd stay in the middle, collecting payments from the investor while making payments on that underlying loan.

You would be violating the law by collecting a fee acting as an agent.

I look at our data showing that our rental price per unit is on average well-above our competition in most of the six markets we operate and I just wonder how someone can look at that as taking advantage.

I do like your buy & hold strategy, but unless you really enjoy driving to tenants to collect rent every week, you should consider requiring your tenants to sign up for automatic withdrawal from a checking or savings account.Collecting rents in cash creates the opportunity for payment disputes, not to mention being a security risk and a huge inconvenience for you.If you're goal is to build a serious portfolio of properties, you'll need to resolve the rent payment issue sooner or later.
