Looking for portfolio advice

Just looking for another perspective on my real estate portfolio. I'm fairly risk averse and think I'm in a pretty good situation but I've used up a good portion of cash reserves to buy my last property.

Here are the details on each property: 1. Primary home. $570k value. $285k mortgage @1600 a month. Also has outstanding HELOC just used to buy rental at $145k (10% interest rate).

  1. Rental. $320k value. $160k mortgage @ 900 a month. $1500 rental income.

  2. Rental by the room. $580k value. $410k mortgage and payments of $2100 a month (+$1k in utilities). $5300 rental income.

  3. Identical room rental with a partner. $580k value. Mortgage of $2500 a month. $725/mo payments to partner. $1k utilities. $5300 rental income.

  4. Rental with partner. $275k value. No mortgage but would owe partner $205k upon all. Pay partner $870 a month. Rents for $1500 a month.

  5. Rental. $390k value. Owe $205k (6.25% interest). Payments of $1650 a month. $2050 in income.

  6. New purchase (with heloc). Purchase price of $205k. Renovating for $20k. Value should be about $270k to $290k. Will rent for $2k a month. Expenses are $400 a month but currently no mortgage.

My thoughts are to aggressively pay the heloc off over the next year and just leave it without a mortgage until a more opportune time. The heloc has a high rate but refinancing would cost an extra $5k+. The only other property that has a high rate is property 6, but it's stable.

Wondering what other options there might be on this. We don't need any of the income the properties generate and with our regular jobs I'm confident we can put $10k a month toward paying off the heloc with a little more some months. The only other consideration I have is that I don't think the interest in the heloc is tax deductible since it originated from my primary?

I don't really think we need any additional properties but I want to eventually replace the room rentals for apartments.

Looking for any suggestions

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
