Let your investment pay the loan back...which means the cost of the loan (interest payments) in reality is an investment...that means this turns your 401k money into 2 investments at the same time...the RE and the 401k

Your RE value to rent is 5.4%. 

There are some other tricks that will allow you to take back ownership quicker if you have to so seek out someone with superior RE skills and legal knowledge in your area. 

@Brian Dickerson, You almost always have to re-train (yes, retrain) inherited tenants in your way of doing things, whether the property has been managed by the owner or another property management company.

I've never regretted going full time into RE. 

The guy buying $20K SFR's in the hood has very little in common with the private equity group buying 300+ unit new construction communities, other than they're both investing in RE.

I have sort of drifted a bit and most recently found myself delving into the FIRE community but always come back to RE.

I have been lurking here for a few months, and now that I had some time to absorb some of the wealth of knowledge, I would like to introduce myself!

If you're unsure about your legal obligations, speak with a RE attorney and go over this with your agent if you're using one to sell.

Ospina That was also  my thinking was that if it's a building wide issue and likely a developer problem, it'd be cheaper if we just re-piped the whole building and get a bulk rate which would be cheaper than individual owners doing it.I think the condo felt that it was only affecting some units and would be a pricey one-time levy to fix something is affecting only a portion of units.
