@Joseph Kline my Brazilian wife and I have had nothing but miserable experiences with real estate in Brazil.

I am currently in the Navy; however, I will be getting out in Oct.

I built it this way.Goal: Mine was early retirement living off the cash flow of the houses in 15 yearsType: Buy and HoldThan from there we have looked at every opportunity and addressed "subconsciously" how that will get us to our end goal.We started out buying a primary and than renting it out when we were trasnfered (active duty navy).

My husband and I are both active duty Navy so when stationed in Hawaii, we saw the opportunity to purchase a home that we could turn into a rental when we transferred, and sold when we thought the time was right.

(1) I don't have any experience with mortgages at the amounts you disclosed; However, I have had success with NASA Federal Credit Union & NAVY Federal Credit Union when refinancing some of my smaller buildings.

Hey Nav, I grew up in Rochester NY but made plenty of trips out to Buffalo. 

I will reach out, she was in the Navy.

I was stationed in San Diego with the Navy for 6 years and now am currently a recruiter for the Navy in Orlando, FL.
