I hired "early" but it's allowed me to scale because when hiring any talent there's always a ramp up period.

We will probably start with conventional, but it feel easier with dscr loans if we ara aiming on 10+ properties in a short period 

My tenant travels extensively for long periods of time.

I have been able to substantially increase the rents during this period of time with having not much of an impact on the tenants. 

Verify your local landlord-tenant laws for specific requirements, as some areas might have different rules regarding notice periods.

Our whole economy is based on that.That being said, when you deal in REO's, banks can impose deed restrictions that prohibit resale for period of time, but there are ways around those, too.  

In my experience sometimes those around you or extended family don't really "get it" nor do they wish to chat about something they feel like is un-obtainable and too risky.

Have an agent pull comps for you to determine this.Refinancing means extra closing costs and you will have a seasoning period.

With their BAH allowance and two to three year assignment periods they have untapped investment strategies they could use.  

During this period, HUD can and will receive counter offer bids from all unsuccessful bidders, as well as other bids from first-time bidders.
