To a landlord of residential properties holding a house is simply holding inventory and inventory should be able to be moved and replaced to grow any business.An airport can change flight paths, bus routes can be changed, traffic patterns can change that increase traffic or make access more difficult, nearby zoning changes effect surrounding properties, there is an endless list of obsolescence factors that effect a residential property that can not be controlled.

Thanks for sharing, I have been trying to keep up with beltline projects, as many of the investors I work with are purchasing homes in these areas for buy and hold purposes as the project continues to grow.

Following this post, it seems like there are several advantages to aggressively paying down one's principal residence if they're in the position to do so for the ability to have rapid financing options to make cash offers as a proverbial ace up the sleeve if other financing situations will not get the job done.Has anyone had practical experience in how this plays out?

My current work is not quite my cup of tea, which is why I want to grow the division this year.

I didn't grow up in this country.

I'd much rather be a recognized business with hundreds of properties that banks jump at the chance to lend to than a "nobody" with tons of hidden assets that has limited access to debt/capital to continue to grow with.

All the monies will be available for the next flip and I plan to grow my capital by rolling each deal's capital to the next.

History lesson: river cities tend to sprawl out and grow north against the flow of the river.

@Scott Swink Growing up, I was always told that I cant get what I don't ask for!

Hey @Mark Ferguson , I was born in Rock Springs but did not grow up there, after high school in Akron Colorado I did go to WW junior college and got an associates there before heading to Laramie.
