My initial thought would be to refinance and then purchase a new property.

@Suzanne BolesWell I have never seen a legit lender on the initial contact form ask for place of birthThere are 100’s of legit lenders out there - recommend sticking with them

For example there is an initial split paid to the brokerage (could be 75/25, 80/20, 90/10 etc. or as much as 50% paid to the brokerage if the agent is on a team).

Hey Poonam, I took Rich's masterclass back in July and have been doing private sessions with him as well, I've got nothing but great things to say about him.

@Austin Carr I don't know of any local groups who analyze deals in person, but I host a free session each Saturday at 4:00 P.M.

My initial open house gets 8 to 10 visits but my 2nd has a noticeable drop off to maybe 5 to 8.  

Eager to learn about RE tax write-offs, how to document/keep up with expenses, what can be written off, etc. at this point...However, the 3 RE focused CPA's I've visited with want $5,000 annually for a couple hour sessions a year and a few recorded classes and other resources, which does not include tax preparation. 

One of our investor clients purchased a four unit there last year, and he has seen incredible rents 15-20% higher than initially projected. 

I don't see any way that this would be the case as there are no amendments or term changes at all from the initial lease to the renewed one. 

However the initial capital would be too large (panels + room + GPU investment) for me.
