In all four appraisals, the value was heavily weighted towards comps and not NOI/Cap rates.

Brain,Proof can simply be a letter from your accountant, Council, or, if you are incorporated, your BoD ... though the third-party attestations carry more weight.

It is very possible that you are putting way too much weight on a real estate site value estimate.

I find with most of this stuff once you get over that initial hump it will go faster.

I lease my properties much faster than my out of state property managers every time.

The faster you resolve it, the faster it's over.This has happened to me.

Property Managers make it all possible and if you find the right one - they will be worth their weight in gold.The only work I do on my rental units each month is spending about 5 minutes smiling about the money that they just deposited into my bank account, and then pushing a few buttons to handle the accounting.That's it.It's the same reason I hire a mechanic to work on my car.

I bet you had a huge smile on your face and felt a huge weight off your shoulders when you got it.

Obviously, using debt you'll be able to grow faster.

For me, I don't need any of the income I am acquiring from the properties I have so this allows me to use the money to reinvest.One thing I would like to suggest to you if you are worried about paying down the loan faster.
