If the rents are between 1300-1700, what if you are unable to rent it for $1600/month/side and have to reduce the rent to $1400 for each side?

I earned my agent's license earlier this year in February, married my husband in April, and we moved into our first fixer-upper home the end of July!

For our primary mortgage, we are 2 years into a $600K 30 year 3.75% fixed conventional loan.Here are some pros and cons I can think of for each option:Invest as CashPros:Very liquidLess riskyNo interest on cash amount for next investmentKeep higher primary home interest expenses for tax write offCons:Sits in savings account earning 1% until reinvestedPay Down Primary Mortgage and Take Out HELOCPros:Saves $275,000 interest and reduces payoff during to 15 year on primary mortgageCons:Puts primary home at risk if future rental property investment goes badHigher and variable interest rate on HELOCBanks could close HELOC at any time removing my access to the funds for investmentMiss out on tax benefits of higher primary home interestUltimately, our goal is to have no personal debt including primary mortgage, while building a steady stream of cash flow through rental properties over time. 

Over the course of a few years, you have great baselines built up and can then more effectively negotiate with your property manager to reduce these fees, especially if you have a substantial number of units.  

What if they want to add costly services that significantly reduce your cash flow but do not significantly raise your rents. 

This reduces your utility cost and in turn will increase your NOI.3.

I’m looking at reducing rehab costs by finding cheap or free materials on Craigslist, Facebook, garage sales, etc.

@Daniel Dietz,Please keep in mind that your contributions to Roth 401k are based on your self-employment earnings and will be limited to $24,500 ($18,500 elective deferrals + $6,000 catch up).

I don’t have experience with what you’re doing, but I wonder if some smart infrastructure could reduce overall costs.MG
