If it's 7% on a $100,000 loan, and that property's been appreciating and cash-flowing, you might find it's better to own the property.Rates are very low now, so it would almost make some sense to hang on to some dry powder. 

But always have enough money available to get through any dry times.

Buyers are where it is drying up.

Could have been 170+ night is could have back to 2 weeks drying and wall repair.Now looking for a 2nd unit in Indian point and other Branson area.

I will be renting out a room, probably AirBnBing the other room, as well as putting some of the property locations up for HipCamp and putting money into transitioning some of the outbuildings into tiny home dry cabins with compostable toilets to be able to rent them out and use the profits to save up to install actual plumbing down the road. 

-your mud room needs to be hoseable (waterproof up to half wall with a drain in middle of the floor)-add an additional drain to any full bathroom: if bathtub or sink or toilet overflows, there is a place for the water to go (only problem, trap may stay dry=sewer gass)

I will be a succesful real estate investor even if it hair lips the president.

The Rome apartment was clean but had hairs on the pillow, residue in the bathroom etc. 

The real tricky part it's clear that lending from traditional banks is drying up. 

Also, is this a C/D class property, where the tenant will be ok with the inconvenience of using coins for washing and drying clothes?
