Eliminate those mortgages, and cash flow multiplies.So IF free and clear B&H are your goal, ONE way of achieving that sooner is to sell half the inventory and pay off the other half with the proceeds and end up with half the rental but much more cash flow, maybe at retirement or sooner.And if free and clear rentals is the goal, and you've accumulated proceeds from being in real estate, why not just buy the properties with no mortgages to begin with?

I don't believe people understand the ramifications of what major cuts or elimination would bring.

I decided to get an FHA loan at 3.5% down and put my budgeted cash ($45,000 ish) into upgrades with the goal of having the house reappraise for 100k more than when I bought it so I can have 25% equity and then be able to refinance out of the FHA and into a traditional loan (thus eliminating the painful $400/mo PMI fee).

Would this also eliminate the upfront registration fees?

I'm in the process of doing some direct mail marketing to tax delinquents (for the first time) and I was wondering if I should eliminate LLCS from my mailing list?

By the way, notice that the 1% rule does not mean that the rental property will be successful it is more of an efficiency tool, it is a filter by which you eliminate "opportunities" so that you can focus on the ones that look more promising but you should always do further due diligence.Cheers!

This way you will eliminate all the competition and make a ton of money.Charles

Pack it tight you pay more for weight , but you can eliminate a extra dumpster.  

The FHA option has a few fees associated with it and you have to refinance to eliminate the monthly PMI as with the conventional loan the PMI automatically drops off once you get to roughly 78% equity.
