My mortgage payments on the duplex increased dramatically over the last year as well, and currently it is appraised at 720K with 4,100/mo rent.

cant quite recall Engelo I do remember though last time in checked in a few years ago the US category did not really have much of any action compared to when I used to post on it..

My condo in Marco Island is doing very well but prices have gone up significantly the last two years so I'm not sure how people make the economics work purchasing now.  

My last resort is to borrow from myself.

New to investing for myself but been around it being in real estate and working with investor clients over the last 8 years.

I would like to add to that I've just been busy with other stuff.I keep track of income / expenses for my 3 income producing properties in a spreadsheet.I also just bought a new home last year and still trying to sell the old home.

**CAREFUL** the landscape has shifted somewhat with the influx of new inventory in the last couple years.

I’ve got two 401k loans out right now I needed to buy houses in the last year with.

I'm not comfortable buying a property with a negative $500 cash flow hoping future appreciation will cover the loss. 

Last time I used them they only required a 10% down payment.
