Know what your holding costs are so in case it takes 4months to sell vs 2 months you can still profit.#2 have/know well six trades for every major....so six masons, six HVAC, six framers, six foundation guys, six roofers. 

Most blanket loan lenders will allow you to do partial releases so you could sell one at a time.

I think the market value is higher than my tax assessed value so that might not help me.

In my market, we still believe that welfare recipients shouldn't have nicer housing than people that work full-time, so Section 8 pays less than what I can get on the open market.

I also do not expect high W2 income for 2024 and beyond, so 2023 might be the best year to do this for the best tax savings.

If you use something like Quickbooks it can track loan as it gets paid off so you can easily see how much is owed at any time.

The property I started renting in October 2024 was actually inherited from my mother, so it holds both financial and sentimental value for me.

I was so happy when she left. 

I worry of injuries as I have a re-occurring injury from the academy, so I want to start something to let me get out of this career early and defer the pension.

From all my landlord schooling I knew in my gut that wasn’t the right thing to do, so here we are.Any advice appreciated - thanks.
