At 6% appreciation, which I think is reasonable in this neighborhood, IRR moves to 25%.Option 4) Hold on to all properties by saving $3k/month of W2 income and refinancing in a few years if interest rates decline -- Pros: Maintains entire portfolio.

I have 50+ rental houses and a handful of office buildings and MF so I'm almost where I could pull it off by myself but I still think we could have more "pull" with a larger combined portfolio and shared resources.. 

Though it might be naive, I was thinking of a buy and renovate project that would cost between 150k and 200K.Any recommendations and/or resources towards this goal would be greatly appreciated.
