Not really a reson to sell.

The appraiser would adjust according for the monthly rental amount based on features, amenties, condition, location, and proximity to determine market rent and apply the most resonable GRM to your gross monthly rent.So for instance if your market gross rents are determined to be $3000 (750 per unit X 4) and the GRM was 75X then your 3000 would be multiplied by 75 to end up with a market value of $$225,000.Cap rates are great but no residential appraiser uses CAP rate, you can however use it for your "own," analysis to determine your ROI criteria but it has no bearing till you enter 5+ multi family, commercial, retail, and business financing. 

Landscapers with sustainability in mind  with this experience would be helpful. 

Resist the urge of going overboard on his return because you want to do this over and over again, so it has to be sustainable for you both.

I am even asking myself, how some of these investors have sustainability with these numbers.

Remember this is sought after neighborhood so I think prices go to a point where it is not sustainable and I am seeing a few price reduction, only very few, but it is a sign.

The commercial banks care about how well the property performs and if it can sustain itself.

I tried it out, but I think that the phrase "financial independence" is just too impersonal to resonate with me.

I dont think there is typically enough money in rentals to sustain a brokerage unless you are in a large metro market.

To continue...HML will lend based upon your ability to sustain the debt AND the actual property itself.
