The market is really picking up right now and the good deals are getting harder to find, but I am in the process of buying 3 buildings right now for a total of 9 more units to my existing 13 units.I only have 1 section 8 tenant an haven't had a major issue with the program.

really want to try the Brrrr method, I have 50k saved up right now, can have access to more soon.  

It's inevitable that you and I are going to meet soon, so maybe we can hook up for a conversation and then organize the meet-up right after.  

Lenders are really tied up right now.

Always had an interest in houses, flipping and rentals but have allowed others to discourage me that it's too risky and I'm a woman.ha guess that's a sign of when I grew up. Right

I'm a new investor, but I was a business owner in the past (10 years at the helm of a wonderfully fulfilling company that I started, teaching Martial Arts and Self-Defense).  

One thing that seems to be snagging me up right now is the lack of call backs from realtors on these REO listings.

@Cody Martin i agree with @Christopher Hunter laminate flooring home depot, lowes and train your tenants like children and dogs to bring them up right.

I guess my biggest question is, when you refinance to get your money out so that you can reinvest, the loan obviously goes up right?

A buyout in that case usually does nothing for you unless more tenants banging down the door to lease it up right away with similar rents or higher with the same credit.
