He got married and we were very strategic that we keep each rental property owned individually so they can each have 10 which would be 20 combined. 

@Ryan WilliamsHey Ryan, I'm an asset manager for a global bank.I've worked as, and on behalf of, the largest institutional landlords as well as smaller private landlords.The natural path that you'll see is analyst -> associate -> asset manager, or something along that path.Mine was a bit different but nonetheless learned similar skills in underwriting, analyzing and strategically (re)positioning assets.

I've been very blessed to grow from 0 to 13 properties (mostly all rehabbed) this past year and plan to continue to grow very quickly, but, I want to make sure I'm doing it strategically, and intelligently!

My question boils down to this...How does one plan or strategize this as it relates to terms/rates on future refinances?

@Riley WengerAnother option or idea that is slower but has worked well for me (however may be somewhat frowned upon by most on this site) is strategically buy some vacant land.

So strategize, plan and think twice. 

Just note that you might be better off with the sweet cash flow you have now with the FREE AND CLEAR before acquiring another property (the idea isn't to scale for scaling sake, it is and should be more strategic).

I still think that around $20,000 per year for a CPA calls for some re-strategizing.

I'm trying to strategize on what to do first.

We are looking for strategic advice on getting started.
