But slow down read everything and read all the question before answering.

I am still very excited it just slows down my plans for 2016.

We will reward long term tenants by being slow to make rent increases, and in smaller increments.  

It's seen pretty good equity growth over the last four years but I expect that to slow down for my market.

Hi, If I have money and want to invest it in Real Estate, but am a Newbie and want to start out slow and maybe give my money to someone else to get a higher percentage rate than 5-7% in stocks, how does this work? 

Wife wouldn't allow it though :-( With the extra $600 you could pay on the principal to accelerate equity buildup or save it for a downpayment on another rental.

I am interested in the actual results of any investor using the $1:$9 accelerator of using OPM( others peoples money) and leveraging the funds in order to buy properties and increase the equity.

Jan is sometimes slow because fewer people are looking and putting stuff under contract in December, but it picks right back up in February.

While this time of year shows a slow down in the market nationwide, we are busier than ever.

Having fixed financing with a higher accelerated pay down isn't the answer to staying fluid at least not for me.The question to sell and 1031 to something else is how much dead equity you have in the property and where the value is in the cycle for your property.
