We can plan on it very low key while presenting details about dissecting deals, how to fund deals, and this will serve as a great tool for networking. 

Hi all,Was hoping to get perspectives / hear stories on how others approached the possibility of selling RE assets and using the proceeds to paydown debt on other properties.Here is what I see as potential +’s and -‘s:+ increase cash flow by removing mortgages (so more passive income)+ opportunity to sell underperforming assets- less assets under management (so less potential equity appreciation)- taxable gains (will not redeploy into RE as my sense is we are near the top of the market)- 30 year fixed mortgages in place at low 4-handle rates (based on simple bond math, the value of my liability is shrinking on a relative basis as rates rise)Other facts relevant to my situation:* RE is but just one asset in my portfolio (and I’m fine with that); cash flow and appreciation are great, but I’m looking at the asset class as more of a long term hedge against inflation * not looking to leave my day job and / or replace W-2 income entirely with passive income * don’t need the cash flows from RE; again, I see the asset as a levered inflation-hedging play

We look at it like a potential buyer, not an investor who sometimes banks on the property selling toward the range of the higher comps.We don't "send you how to books and tapes" We have a trained staff to help you work on your business- a deal desk that you can call to review any property you have under contract, a compliance team to review risk factors, construction project managers that will vet your contractor bids - in addition to the resources that help you learn THIS SPECIFIC way of evaluating deals- finding the types of properties that do qualify for low or no cash to close.

It's a two family so both furnaces I want to change but since I have duct work I would get a unit for both ac and heat.

So I think your vacancy of 3% is low.

If it's really worth 125k I would ask why you are selling it so low. 

He found more rotten beams, mechanical issues with the heating, the pipes to the water heater was hazardous and can cause leaks.

I’d definitely read (or listen to) the book on real estate investing with no or low money down.

Since I starting college next year my funds are pretty low and I don't have much credibility for a loan.

And yes I've seller financed RE too via traditional Note and Mortgage (security deed).But I sell on land contract / contract for deed (the same) as well when:- deal price is so low that the closing costs ($2-3k) is an unfair expense for the buyer to pull out of pocket
