I would lean towards reaffirming your position; perhaps advise your CPA to revisit Treas.

With your oilfield salary in the low 200s, you’re in a strong position to invest in a 4-plex, which can provide better cash flow and economies of scale compared to a duplex.

My A class that I own I self manage I have a RE agent that puts them up they find a tenant I require 700 plus fico so that weeds out 90% of renters and then I set them up on auto pay and if they have an issue we send handyman.. to be fair my units are basically new construction and townhouses in HOA's in the Desert ( vegas) so there simply is not a lot of maintenance. there is A class in every city its just that investors get so focused on  positive cash flow they dont buy those for rental purposes so they miss out on the best rental tenants.. the higher the cash flow on paper the lower the quality of the units.. its a fact..

Hoping it’s a positive update. 

Previous landlord review was positive.

By the way what market are you in all 3 of your properties seem pretty low in price allowing you to have positive cash flow. 

We don't currently own anything there and don't plan on doing so in the foreseeable future.The positive is that the landlord tenant laws are much more landlord friendly.

I came across a loan program called Renofi that will lend you a based on the future value of your home after rehab. Has anyone used this loan program before? What was your experience like?
