I listen to their podcasts religiously and they got some smart analysts.

You need to do a cash out refinance if you want to use the leverage its nice to have a property paid for but if your looking to LEVERAGE that means using the equity in one property to purchase more properties you will make more money in the long run but will have a payment on the one sounds like it is producing much income so could be a smart investment stratage.

I have sponsored 300+ units so far.I would love to connect, talk shop, etc.!

I really need something that we can put on autopilot but also can be sure it is giving us the latest data and smart technology. 

Smart move in the end. 

Safe, smart approach for the new kid on the block.Also, accept the idea that you needn't only invest in your local market. 

I'd shop around.

I just want a one stop shop to handle everything we do as off-market investors.Please drop here, or message me, the contact name, #, and email.Thanks in advance team!

I’ll be making about $17/hr or so if I get in with a non union shop, and will probably be in the union this summer starting around $20/hr ($45/hr in 5 years..plus tons of great benefits starting out). 

Although a higher DP means higher CF, it also means a lot longer time period to recover your cash in.What's really (I'm trying really hard to think of a nice word to use here),  Uh, "not smart", is thinking that somehow increasing your DP to change negative CF to positive CF is a good thing.
