There are a property or two I have found that I project a cash flow of about $500/mo.My other thought is this: I would be eliminating a nice asset I would have-the ability to get at $20k whenever I want/need it.

I've created an irrevocable trust to house my assets naming my son as beneficiary.

Sometimes you can say that your liabilities are higher than your assets and you are insolvent.

If you're near Boston that weekend you can give me a shout for coffee.Hope it warms up for you, single digits lately......

If you know what percentage a line item should be and it appears out of whack there is a reason for it.The seller has been cutting corners somewhere to make THEIR actual numbers appear better than micro market averages for the area.Also and this applies to other asset classes specifically you will see in retail centers for example the actual numbers average to 14 sq ft but are vintage leases.

The income & asset statements from all the free & clear properties we owned (here) didn't mean anything to them (only the IRS can attach foreign investments :)The first 2 banks balked so we went to a great mortgage broker & had a mortgage with yet another Bank @ 2% higher than the going rate (but I do remember the closing/legal costs were a little high).

Then drive each asset areas during the day and see what markets you feel within.

Under Liability or Asset?

Investor has between 50k and 100K liquid assets.

Let me preface this by saying my ultimate goal is asset protection- that is my #1 priority.
