I have no problem doing this, but it will be the first time in 20 years that I've decreased rent from tenant to tenant. 

Our plan is to buy one property each year all cash until the interest rate decline a little bit.We might have 5-6 properties by then and want to use the equity to buy multiple properties in the same location or maybe large apartment complexes in middle America.My question is: What is the best way to use this equity (since we will not have any mortgages) once the interest rate declines.Our ultimate goal is to have a substantial amount of monthly profit which will allow us to decrease the time we have to dedicate to our w-2 jobs. 

Largest decrease in price in 40 years in Austin has been 2.9%. 

Decreased maintenance and contractor expenses to boost NOI.

Is that profit going to be decreased significantly?

With the upgrade, many commercial property owners see a significant decrease on their utility bills.

This is working out nicely, because the trade off is about equal (i.e. our cash flow increase from paying off the other mortgages offsets the decrease from no longer owning the building).

@Varun GargCleveland does have a decreasing population but makes up for it in strong cash flow.

If you put out your lifeline out into the world during this time, I guarantee someone will reach out for it.Banks, businesses, and financial institutions want their problems off their books by the end of the year.Those REO's that have been an issue because the banks are waiting for the right offer, may be a little more pressing to be unloaded during this end stretch and this may be the difference between an accepted offer or a missed deal.I'm light of this information, it's easy to see how this imbalance between the increased deal potential and the decrease in competition can create the perfect storm for profit to the savvy investor that is willing to go the extra mile and not check out through the holidays.

However, this contrasts with Redfin's data, which suggests a price decrease from $275,000 in September to $270,000 in October.
