I put the cash from the refi back into more mutlifamily units that produce more rental income. 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Possibly using mortgage/home equity loan on one unit we own to buy an extra one.3.

There was quite a bit of unused land and the zoning gave me some flexibility if I wanted to expand various aspects of the property.Also the self storage units were all below market rent and the seller was willing to finance at a decent rate with a 5 year balloon.

(The people running 500+ units or $100m syndications when the average BP listener (I assume) has 1-10 units and is worth $1-5M.).

We have some Rensselaer tenants on various forms of assistance, so happy to chat though that, as well.

Encore, you would need a membership, if you purchase in the new phase (Spectrum ) they automatically come with the amenities (membership) included to your guests, but the HOA and management have other restrictions and all units come furnished with the same packages, so you can't make changes to have it stand out, which is what is really needed hear in Orlando since there is so much competition. 

As a Mexican real estate agent living in Canada and with a presence in the United States, one of the most common questions I hear in the investor community is: "Can foreigners buy real estate in Mexico?"

You could wait to close until you have your license and rather rental arbitrage the unit from seller until then.

. - You have no recourse against an agent or PMC once you pay them for the placement and it turns out to be a terrible tenant:(If you have the time and network and post here for assistance, it's always a good idea to learn the rental business from the "ground up".Of course, one mistake can also cost you thousands of dollars.
