To any lenders out there, how long am I required to hang onto a HML before refinancing to a conventional mortgage?

I just paid about $2k to do a whole house but that included painting the walls a lighter color and repairing all of the small cracks and holes from the previous owner hanging pictures and shelves all over the walls. 

And we live in a area where there are so many small businesses make some flyers and ask to hang them or leave business cards!

I always work on the low hanging fruit.

I got so wrapped up in those deals and still working 40+ hrs a week I didn't have the energy to go to the REIA meetings or even log into BP.I think I'm getting the hang of things now and hopefully will have more time to stay in touch with the BP community.

The panel on the wall was wired for electric and an internet connection so they can put a TV there if they want or just hang a picture or mirror if that is their thing. 

If it checks out, get it into contract and pay for a home inspection (and any other needed inspections) for good measure.There are more investor buyers than ever before, so the lowest hanging fruit needs work/renovation.

If you have a high end rental, you'll have more deposit and tenants will be concerned about having bad credit and won't likely just take off and leave you hanging with repainting. 

I would prefer starting small before jumping into large apartment complexes just so I can get the hang of things.Thanks in advance!

That is, after locking down a broker to hang my license with.
