With your job and salary, you could easily be FI in 10 years (if not way less). 55 isn't a bad age to be able to do whatever you want.

If you didn't finish a third unit, there is also opportunity for forced appreciation.You aren't going to really get turn-key investors in that area if the numbers don't support positive cash flow.You can absolutely re-fi out of the HML if your primary jobs (pay stubs and taxes) can support mortgage payments.

It's a very well updated/remodeled 3/2 1960s home on a 1/2 acre of land 3 miles from Downtown Greenville, SC.  I

Re-sale/Re-fi shouldn't (hopefully) be an issue, as everything will be very professionally managed and documented after acquisition, but wondering if this would be a deal breaker for most (not having statements).Thanks again. 

If I re-fi, I’m sure the mortgage will go up because there is no PMI with a VA loan, which would cause more negative. 

Hey everyone, my name's David and I'm interested in getting started in real estate investing.My previous investing experience is your traditional index funds (my goal is FI/RE). 

See fi they are open to a blanket lien across a number of the properties (1 loan, multiple liens).

I enjoy my W2 job and don't plan to quit but I could so that's basically level 1 of FI.
