Edward C. Selling half of portfolio to paydown mortgages?
29 June 2018 | 9 replies
Hi all,Was hoping to get perspectives / hear stories on how others approached the possibility of selling RE assets and using the proceeds to paydown debt on other properties.Here is what I see as potential +’s and -‘s:+ increase cash flow by removing mortgages (so more passive income)+ opportunity to sell underperforming assets- less assets under management (so less potential equity appreciation)- taxable gains (will not redeploy into RE as my sense is we are near the top of the market)- 30 year fixed mortgages in place at low 4-handle rates (based on simple bond math, the value of my liability is shrinking on a relative basis as rates rise)Other facts relevant to my situation:* RE is but just one asset in my portfolio (and I’m fine with that); cash flow and appreciation are great, but I’m looking at the asset class as more of a long term hedge against inflation * not looking to leave my day job and / or replace W-2 income entirely with passive income * don’t need the cash flows from RE; again, I see the asset as a levered inflation-hedging play

We are not the best lender for every investor (although the more traditional types of funding we extend can and do work for most deals) Interestingly it does not seem to matter how many success stories we publish, case studies we produce, documented deals we list,  legitimate positive reviews we receive - there are those who instantly believe anything negative they read online and dismiss all of the positive.
