I usually start by analyzing data like population growth, job opportunities, and rental demand.

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

Vet your contractors and engage partners if you don't have the experience for the job.

A cash-out refinance or home equity line of credit (HELOC) can be powerful tools to keep your momentum going.Focus on Stability:Look for investments in areas with strong job markets, population growth, and consistent rental demand.

Looks like a hack job.

This diversity provides a certain level of stability to the job market.Population Trends: The population has seen modest growth in the last decade.

On the other hand, I’m hesitant to simply pay down more of a property, as we don’t need the immediate cash flow.Fortunately, both my wife’s job and mine are recession-proof, which allows us to be a bit more aggressive with our investments.I’d really appreciate advice from investors who have experience with frequent moves or military service.

I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments. 

Great job on the investment!!!

If it's not a real job... next.
