Haha, but you know what they say - past performance is no guarantee of future results. 

It is not really apples to apples, but generally speaking the more money invested the further ahead you will be eventually in the future, just because your compounding base is higher, regardless of where the money comes from - ie, 4 300k properties are 1.2 million on property, which is double the 600k property.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

This is going to do two things to help you in the future to free up your VA entitlement so you can buy another home 100%. 

Since you're a citizen but you live and work abroad you'd still qualify mostly for second homes occupancy or investor non owner occupancy (primary is hard to claim if your job requires you to be physically next to the office as an example so an underwriter isnt going to readily believe you unless you can get HR to write you a letter to state you're remotely capable of earning this income/job duties anywhere).Hopefully that helps let me know if you have further questions into mortgage planning.

If you care at all about your future in investing, you need to ask the tenant to rehome them or for her to move.

Once could purchase the land (and potentially other land/real estate in the future).

If I get motivated enough in the near future I may do more research and experimentation with it.  

Wife and I are coming down from Toronto, Canada and we are looking to network with current investors, PM, RE Agents, etc...I tried finding meet ups in the forum section "Events & Meetups Section" but had no success.Would love to know of any meetups in Ohio in Jan, Feb or March 2025!

Even with trump's aggressive plans for mass deportation and border security, I also have to think long term about future presidents' agendas towards border control too, and anticipate potential presidents being more loose on border security.
