Based on the consistent performance of the property you have there, my vote would be to keep it and buy another one.

How can you consistently work that strategy?

You have to consistently follow up in a meaningful way and you will get deals.

Also do you guys consistently work with other investors to leverage time and networking of finding deals, and broadening into new markets?

I'd be willing to do legwork, tedious activities for the knowledge and experience- continue attending REI events, seminarsObstacles:- very little, to no savings- underwater in home; currently refinancing to MUCH better terms/ costsIn my favor:- decent size 401k- passion to succeed/ fight through hurdles- consistent regular career.

For business most hotels are close to main roads, offer 24 hour cancellation, no cleaning fees, private rooms, breakfast and coffee on site, exercise room, multiple rooms for coworkers if a group is traveling and they have consistency. 

I just generally follow what the market is offering, because you can get those deals more consistently.

After looking at these factors in the possible markets you are researching you will start to see which cities/small towns are growing and have consistent employment, which directly correlates to a market with may renters.

Consistent rulings for a long time have found that purchasing the membership interest of such an LLC is the same bundle of rights as purchasing the deeded real estate and as such qualifies for 1031 treatment.

My ideal investment property has low management, low maintenance, consistent predictable income & area of appreciation.
