They are going for the "now" business or low-hanging fruit - i.e.

The lowest hanging fruit isn't always the best...

Benefits are that you're not 100% on you own, you'll probably get some faster business, you might learn some from an experienced agent, you can see how a team operates, you might see a more disciplined approach to the business and perhaps get to hang out a bit or be in the presence of someone organized.   

Hang in there.

Visit Home Depit between 6-8 am and hang out at the Pro desk/cash registers and approach guys checking out. 

...even if it's $5-$6k/mo cashflow, to most people, that's not enough to hang their hat on for the rest of their lives (unless they're living a very conservative lifestyle).Most people can't retire on the cashflow from one single fam property...but 4, 5, or 6 properties?

If you sound anything like one, the other person is ready to hang up immediately.Talk to them in a friendly manner and not too professional.

- Robust HELOC offerings- I have a good offering for HELOCs, but run into the standard hang ups of HELOCs on properties in LLCs, or HELOCs on investment properties.

Then when you are done, you refinance the home to something long term and hang on to it at its new price.

I would recommend hanging tight until the March/April time frame to list it, and working with a realtor to identify a few other investments that may make sense.
