Why I’m Selling My Rentals That Still Make Money...

26m | Sep 23, 2026

Why sell a rental property that still makes money? Sometimes the property that helped you build wealth no longer makes sense to keep.

Gabriel Hamel once planned to never sell his rentals. Now he’s selling some long-held properties, freeing up equity and rethinking how much cash he needs to protect his portfolio.

In this episode, Gabe, Mitchell and Travis discuss when to sell, when to refinance, and when a difficult property deserves more time.

Gabe also shares what happened when an apartment investment went wrong: renovation funds were gone, tenants weren’t paying, and a loan deadline left him facing some tough decisions.

We cover:

• Why positive cash flow isn’t the only reason to keep a rental

• How to weigh your equity against the income a property produces

• Why owning millions in real estate doesn’t mean you have cash available

• How refinancing can free up money without selling

• What one costly partnership taught Gabe about protecting his investments

Subscribe for honest conversations about commercial real estate, cash flow and building a portfolio that gives you more freedom.
