Paying off personal liability and debts is a great way to scale and knock off higher interests revolving debts. 

@Cam Roberts Fantastic advice.  

I only have experience in my own primary residence, I have perfect credit, zero revolving debt, wife and I both work very well paying jobs, with the one main difference in that she actually likes her job, haha, and I'm striving for greater things for me, my wife, and my 2 young boys.Nobody in my life seems to have such higher aspirations, so it's tough to even have a conversation about such things with any friends/family without blank stares.Any advice either of you can share to point me in right direction, or just a 1st step suggestion, would be incredibly appreciate.Thanks!

A not from a Pro, learn about the appraisal standards, rules and regulations, namely learn everything about Quality and Condition standards and all the regulations revolving around those.

@Brad Schultheiss  I don't have a max amount....they are revolving accounts....Property taxes get paid out every year.  

Instead of having 3 nice 1BR apartments (and likely 3-5 tenants) we ended up with 6 bedrooms and a revolving door of college students. 

Just make sure you find sets that have easier assembly usually with cam locks like Ikea does, and make sure they have soft close hinges and dovetail drawers are usually the basic features you want to be of better quality.

I have considered a refinance but I was hoping for a revolving line of credit I can use to fund future down payments. 

Both questions revolve around the way that my money and loans will work.

Chevron federal credit union wil do helocs up to 10 rental properties 6.25 variable, 5.25 fixed/15/yrAll fees for a revolving line of credit are absorbed by the credit union (inc 'full appraisal' if needed they will first try to establish the value using a avm)They lend in most states I used these guys recently they have great service and are quick... any more questions about my experience...feel free to ask...
