They prove what every good landlord already knows: clean books and cash control build peace of mind.Small landlords can steal that same playbook. 

We are still in an environment where carriers are extremely sensitive to claims, especially those that don't arise from catastrophic weather events (at least in the Midwest market). 

Peace of mind and consistent cash flow win every time.

The home environment has gotten really stressful, so I’m feeling a lot of pressure to move out for my own mental wellbeing.

If peace of mind and steady income matter more right now, paying it off could be the better move.

I’ve noticed more investors shifting from large single-family flips to smaller multi-family deals this quarter.Maybe it’s the tighter lending environment, or just better cash flow.Are you seeing similar trends in your market?

They have not been trained properly, to buy or to deal with the problem when it arises.If someone smokes dope one time, within a controlled environment, they may be fine.

Things like structured leadership, clear house guidelines, and ongoing support services really help create a positive environment that benefits everyone involved.It’s interesting to hear how the city’s open to it with the right contract structures, navigating those details well definitely makes a big difference.

Would love to hear how others are using leverage responsibly in this higher-rate environment.

Even if appreciation is modest, consistent rent plus tax benefits can outpace what a volatile market offers, especially if you value peace of mind in a downturn.
