There are lots of options for assumable loans in the outskirts that might be worth looking into

I've had no problem as long as the loan was over 50k after down payment.   

Something I’ve been thinking about is the benefits of loan pay down.

I have a portfolio loan and am paying it down but need to sell a few properties.What if the home sells less than the release price but I have paid a lot of equity into the portfolio loan?

We have a loan of $1million and both LLCs named on the loan although it’s not specified 70/30 on the loan docs.

They are getting big and growing their staff and improving processes. 

The IRS doesn't have a lot of hard rules about the type of loans (or source of loans) with a 1031 exchange. 

what is the mortgage balance, is it current, how many payments back, what are properties selling for in the area (is his price above or below others), *how much seller financing can the seller take,* how much cash above the mortgage would seller accept, how fast does the seller want to get to the settlement table, what repairs or up-dates does the building need - you could ask if you had $10,000 to spendon improvements - what would you spend it on?

Some banks will also give loans using assets that you have as collateral.
