Here my idea, please share your take on this strategy and it may have been already be a thing, but I literally just thought of it at the dinner table and abruptly left the table to draw it out on my dry erase board.Someone comes to me with deal and they need cash to finance it.

I just saw mountain of debt and a total interest around 60% of the value of a home over time.

Our portfolio now is doing great, so we don't really need to get rid of any properties, but we have a lot of equity in one of our rentals in a hot neighborhood and I wouldn't mind taking that off the table while housing prices are high.

Better Mortgage says they will only do a soft pull of my credit in order to give me a customized rates table and loan estimate.

That way they don’t feel like they’re leaving money on the table.

If you get rid of the PMI and bring money to the table, you can easily achieve that.

The problem is when you break the law, don't follow code, use under the table workers, illegal workers, ignore reported problems, gross negligence, etc.

But if you decide to continue holding after that point you'll have the 1031 option.I'm a big fan of tax free and taking chips off the table. 

Now I think your best option is to lay it all out on the table to them, and give them the choice to move out or deal with updates and rent increase.

I have an offer on the table for a home that is still tenant occupied.
