If your gross rents are currently less than 3x your P&I in aggregate currently, then in my view you are very tight on cash flow (and preferably 3.5x) and not in good position to weather adversity.With 29 properties, all the debt introduces alot of financial risk, where circumstances cause a large drop in market rents and/or high vacancies across the board, and the problem could overwhelm the ability of your non-RE income to bail you out.Also, if your liquid reserves are less than 6 mths P&I on all your loans, then likewise you need to shore that up.If you can create some free & clear properties by paying off the mortgages, you also have the benefit of being able to transfer them to an LLC to potentially provide some shielding from creditors if problems ever occur in the leveraged portfolio.

(Ten years of chaos might not seem so temporary looking forward at it but it will look temporary after its gone)People are walking away from valuable assets because they have lost faith in the ability to prosper or even make a living in some cases.The banks with piles of cash are gobbling up the assets of former competitors while at the same time "writing down" the bad debt.
