Your life will be much simpler and happier and healthier.

Having just come from that student environment (6 bedrooms share 2 bathrooms in a college suite), it didn't bother me any and many of the people who joined me were recent college graduates themselves.

I know many investors (myself included) use self direct IRA capital to invest in a passive nature and earn gains in a tax sheltered environment. 

1) It’s a passion. 2) it allowed me to leave my full time job that I wasn’t very happy in. 3) I’ve got flexibility in my work so that I can spend time with my two young daughters. 4) it’s going to help my husband retire early as well. 5) we provide a safe living environment to our tenants.

Thank you all and looking forward to rapidly improving and growing in this environment! 

@Garett Biondo I would ask myself if it’s the type of work, the boss, or the environment that makes me unhappy.I wouldn’t bail on your current path until you’ve tried a different position in your company with a different boss, or a new company altogether.

Case 2: I want to maximize my yield and build wealth as rapidly as I can, without taking crazy risk: In this case, you can refinance the properties, likely pulling out $100K+, and use that as the down payment on multiple additional properties, or larger multifamily properties in your area.This would increaese the effects of leverage on the portfolio (compounding returns positively in a growing economy and negatively in a recessionary environment), but over time be highly likely to build more wealth, faster, with some added stress and the need to more closely  manage operations in a much larger business that in initial years likely won't produce as much cash flow. 

@Mary Jay A transfer most likely will trigger the Due on Sale clause (DOS) - and while in the past, in an environment of falling interest rates and prices might been a rare occurrence, like they say, past performance might not apply to future results, and with rates increasing and "aged" loans (where the bulk of the interest was already collected, since you pay most at the beginning part of the amortization schedule) the banks might be more interested in collecting on the DOS clause and redeploying the money at higher interest (especially if the valuation of property makes for an easy sale in case of foreclosure). 

So it may be difficult to make a deal pencil given the current environment.
