Sam Leon Have you ever been so scared you fell on your butt?
27 September 2018 | 2 replies
So today I was doing maintenance at one of my rentals, I opened the closet to access the central AC handler unit to change the filter and after I opened the closet door,  I had to rearrange a few things to clear the space to the left so I can have a clear path to the filter slot.As I moved some clothes to the right my hand touched what appeared to be a human head on the rack.I quickly jumped back and in my mind was a scene in Silence of the Lambs...I tripped on myself and fell on my butt.I was so scared LOL.Glad the tenant wasn't there.
Edward C. Selling half of portfolio to paydown mortgages?
29 June 2018 | 9 replies
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
