My wife, for example, has acquired mountains of debt simply to be able to help people less fortunate than her.

There is no way to convince them that taxes are simply a way of showing you are making money.

I have capital available and would really like to just cut down on the learning curve and just buy into a turnkey multi-family or multiple single family homes.

It really blew me away, and seriously cut in to my expected cash flow.

If your only quest is to get a bigger cash flow, simply decrease the leverage (put more money into the deal) and you will have more cashflow. 

—Yvonne - I’m going to cut and paste your wording for my property manager.

It is way easier to get back on the path that you know so well and not cut through the brush and blaze a new trail, but the problem is that although it is easier to go back to what ya know, that path leads to the same unfulfilling results they have always received.Just a few of my thoughts from the top of my head.  

There are many commercial properties selling for cap rates around 5-6% which will simply not cash flow with debt. 

It simply does not give an owner the Homestead/STAR credits. 

Also, I realize there is a lot of cost associated with sell and buy of another property that would cut into profits, but is the any other benefits.
