I would appreciate it if you could help me set up a team towards investing in rental properties.I will be self funding my initial investment but will use refinance to fund subsequent investments.I will appreciate your guidance.Suhael Ahmed

You slide the sign onto the stake and then stick the stake into the ground.

But if you slide the rate on the AIO to 9 or 10 that becomes a much different story; risk compounds quickly.

What is the next and subsequent steps for me after the redemption period has expired.

I'd rather have a solid C that is in a clear C neighborhood and will stay that way than a B that could slide into a C or D erasing my equity value. 

Subsequently, they lost all of their local employees (I even hired one for my personal properties).

Meaning how many people can afford to put a 5-20% downpayment(sliding scale with DTI), and have the DTI to afford the house?

At that point, your ENTIRE ESTATE  is exposed and subject to discovery in subsequent litigation.I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.My $0.02 ...

The sooner you pay off 5 units, the sooner you can use that cashflow for property management + paying the 6th unit off in cash in the very first year (and for every subsequent unit!!)

Subsequently, I took out another HELOC on the rental property itself and it has not been used.
