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

I recently closed on a property I intended to move in with my boyfriend as we are having our first child.

I am sure we are taking about the significant appreciations  and benefit of tax saving outweighs the some of the downside of holding on S-corp. 

We are located in Texas. 

If you all haven't noticed yet, there is a TON of noise about breaking away from the OTA's, that they are a threat to our businesses and we are all eroding our own markets by selling on price. 

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.

We are an information site, but do not lend.

This would really put a strain on your ROI after the initial excitement of having a tenant day one wears off. 

We are moving forward to the next stage and super excited!
