So please understand Rent is a priority & you need to continue to align your finances that way so that this won’t be an issue again.

Just make sure that the broker's policies allow for this and that it aligns with your business structure and goals.Paying your monthly broker and association fees from your business account is also a good move.

Good luck getting your interests aligned for a change.

I do like the idea that the model incorporatse the facts as you are told them, but have indicators that can check and show when they aren't aligned to reality.

I guess I am just too economically immature to really see the forest for the trees in regard to synthesizing the conflicting views and predictions of various economists, including the Wiedemers who have made many unambiguous and harsh assessments and predictions, Dalio who produced that video and who is a successful hedge fund manager, this professor Fullenkamp I have been reading up on, and Krugman whom I am aligned with politically.

I built out the entire 30-year principle-balance structure and still cannot get his exact numbers...mine came close, but they are not completely aligned and I am curious why.

I have SFR rentals in the KC, MO area and am looking to align myself with a landlord-friendly realtor to handle my lease ups when a tenant gives notice. 

But since comps are based on 'market sentiment', it's not always aligned with financial returns.

Your logic seems to be fairly aligned that the best approach would be to look for a long term solution (removal) rather than encapsulation.

In truth, feeding a property is not the greatest situation in the world and if your appreciation projections are off (which is likely 5 years into the future) you might find yourself as a desperate seller in a few years.Feeding a property  (also referred to as "negative gearing") can make sense if:- You have sufficient cash flow from other sources like a job where a large repair bill won't sink you- You are converting a home into a rental in which you put little down for a FHA or VA loan (as examples)- You are undertaking an expedited paydown of the mortgage to enjoying a better cash flow downstream (perhaps aligned with a retirement age)David
