After maxing out my 401k ($18k) and our IRA (2x $5.5k), that still leaves $24,722 in excess to put towards our mortgage.

If I am offering nice clean safe homes, I am helping lots of people, and I can use the excess cash flow to assist many more people in need, like bring clean water to villages in third world countries. 

I am one of many Hong Kong investors (over 80) who has been scammed by this group.Jay Walsh has scammed me out of $50,000 and he does not respond to email or texts anymore.On November 18, 2016, I paid Jay and ABC Capital $77,927: $27,500 to purchase a shell at 38 N Frazier St, 19139and the balance to incorporate an LLC as well as to renovate the shell (in excess of $50,000)As of today, Friday 2 November, 2018 Jay has not replied to any of my queries.This is what the property looks like currently.

My intention was to advertise the solar output as free and included in the rent, but charge a slight premium to the market rent for comparable properties and have the tenant pay any excess balance.

If you are the owner of the system you'll be paying for the system unless you have an agreement with the tenants to pay for the system and any excess usage from the utility.

Also, after 2009, you could get crazy bargains in any places in excess of 2%.In 2018, I was given the advice to look for the 1% rule.

A couple of things to watch for that can really kill your cash flow would be high property taxes and excessive water use or water leaks (since landlords usually pay the water bill on multifamily properties).

I'm self-employed and pretty low earner (but a pretty frugal person), so I don't have a lot of excess cash flow.

If I sell now I would wait patiently and rent for about a year and see if I can:1: Capture another solid deal on my home2: Purchase investment property with excess cash to Buy/Hold, Fix and Flip, or Rental Any thoughts on what you experienced RE individuals would do? 

I should point out that Michigan has had an excessively wet year with a lot of snow over the winter, frozen ground late into the spring, and a healthy amount of rain the last few months.My property manager is telling me the flooding is a significant problem, and that I should take action.
