The ruling concludes that the agent's activities in providing customary services to the tenants, although imputed to the co-owners, were not sufficiently extensive to cause the co-ownership to be characterized as a partnership. ) These arguments lose some strength, however, where it is clear that the investors have jointly negotiated the terms of the transactions and would be unable to separately use their interests in the property without significant cooperation and joint efforts among the co-owners.

If the market is crashing after you've bought at the top, you're probably losing money any way you look at it.

In this process, I would be losing $200 of cashflow to pull out roughly $35K. 

If you want to feel like you’re not losing ground, read a book.

If the duplex is making money comfortably and you don't see any red flags (neighborhood going downhill, area losing jobs or population, etc) I would keep it and grow your portfolio by whatever means makes sense

@Bradley Kovach It really is hard to lose on an investment here in Houston.

Right it is crazy, I was going to follow through and find another reason for eviction, but after reading the NJ laws right now on eviction it states you can serve a year in prison if you evict someone and then they get Covid and pass away from it because it would be looked at as your fault for making them live with another family which increases their odds of getting Covid so its a lose lose.

Some lenders will not do the refinance because ultimately they would lose money from the original loan with investors if 6 payments were not made.

You will learn a lot from taking action and lose a lot from inaction.
