I plan to use any and all strategies to get my five properties for 2017.

As a non-owner occupied, you will pay capital gains when you sell unless you've lived in the property for two of the last five years.

I actually use 10% of the gross rents whatever that number is.Instead take that $3000 at the beginning of the lease and put into Crowdfunding account for 11-12 months @ 7-8%.If a capex item or repairs comes up in inside the lease term, use a 1% cash back credit card to pay for the repair, and use cash flow to pay down the CC until the Crowdfunding contract matures, usually 11-12 months if you can find one like PeerStreet is what I use (1K mins).Now this assumes you have the full maintenance reserve set aside up front and that your cash flow can handle the $250 or 10% a month reserve to begin with, but I always factor that in.Basically I'm leveraging my maintenance reserve for short term private funding and not letting it sit in a checking or savings account at .05%.
