That way you don't have to immediately worry about a big loss in cash flow starting in Aug.

The stock market has been on a tear this year… so if you could make 25% on your money in the stock market (as has been the case year to date), you are better off leaving your mortgages in place and investing the money in ETF’s, etc.  

I don’t want to mess around with homeowner grade stuff from Lowe’s or whatnot, and am willing to pay a fair amount to start getting these under control  professionally.

Hey, I am a new investor starting out in Birmingham, Alabama.

There are a few that are either "really close" of simply don't fit other criteria that we want (one example, a group looked quite promising, however when digging into the PPM / OM's we found that the whole thing was based in the Caymans... that's a great place to vacation, and I really liked the Caymans... however I don't want to have to figure out the legal structure of something that's not US based should I ever need to.... so, that's not one were invested in).Feel free to reach out privately - always willing to chat.
