Now, we own 65 apartment units and 80,000 SF of commercial warehousing.Let me know if you have specific questions. 

I think this is a calculation a lot of homeowners are making right now--especially if they have a low interest mortgage, equity, and their house will cashflow as a rental.The choice is a personal one of course, but I think your future self will thank you if you pull out some equity from your existing home with a HELOC for the downpayment on the next house and a cushion renting your current home, use a property manager as you have other things to do, and buy the next house and do the same thing again.

I've been speculating the markets in the Midwest for some time now and recently decided to make a post on BP to attain more insights from people who live & invest in these markets.

I don't have an answer, but now I'm following this.

Until now I've focused on distressed single-family and small multi-family properties for rehab into rentals (BRRRR).

And how much equity is built up in the property now?

To get access to the maximum amount of equity, I would recommend Tower Credit Union.

Make sure you get that landlord info of the housing before the one they are in now.

, clear laminated instructions inside the unit, etc.Also very important to consider scale--if you are planning to have several STR's in the same area, then it's wise for you to invest time now to build your team there and manage the place without a co-host.

If the zoning map was altered where all 2-4 units were now RT-4 then developers couldn't just tear them down to make SFH and building owners wouldn't need to fight the city to increase density.
