I've been listening to bigger pockets for almost two years now and should have enrolled a long time ago but I've been scared I don't even know why.I've been on a reading overdose for the past two years from rich dad poor dad to the automatic millionaire.

I've thought about contacting the owners of the rentals that are in poor shape as well, to see if they want to sell.On a side note, any chance they've been recently purchased by a developer?  

One significant mortgage rate increase some sort of a shock to the economy, then all bets are off.

I may be moving to NC or TN or MD soon and that may be temporary as well (projects usually last about 1.5 years).I'm currently reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

But unfortunately our funds are really poor.

South near 57th st is middle class people with poor money habits.

Like multiple shotguns bought by investors and each been refurbed and given a different pastel, individual houses just bought and heavily updated, the tenants are slowly changing the demographics (eg not poor and black, but young and white), and so forth.In fact, the pastel thing is actually infectious.

I agree that my personal residence is a liability (rich dad poor dad concept)  I guess I was thinking that by paying off the rental, we could double our monthly payment on our home.  

As side note, we investors often do a poor job in keeping our books because we see them only as the way in which we take care of our tax burden. 

Lastly, look at unit mix since the rent rate is so low it makes me think its poor.
