Ride the market until you have enough equity to refinance into a 20-25% conventional loan package. 4plexs and 3plexs function more like commercial properties being that if they do not cash flow they are not worth that asking price or amount you are plugging in.  

Same old "sky is falling" scenario...things go up...things go down...people get in...people get out...people with timelines and resources long enough and large enough to ride the waves and stay put ordinarily very wealthy by doing so. 

Well if you want to raise the rent sooner you can push the issue of the dog since it is technically a breach of the lease but common sense says just ride it out and let them leave when the lease is over as long as they are taking care of the place and paying on time.

One of our elementary schools back then was actually IN pennsylvania because it was just over stateline road on the west hill- that everyone knows is the best for sled riding!

No one thinks about the tourists in the taxis that spend 80$ on what should have been an 18$ ride and the working class people stuck on the cross town busses being made late to work... and when they shut down the Brooklyn bridge the traffic backs up across the bridge on the brooklyn queens expressway causing headaches for tons of truck drivers who just want to get there trucks back to the lot and get on the train to go home...

With rent being deposited, all he needs to do his ride herd and report any issues back to me. 

If your market is an area where it's normal to see a guy with a man-bun riding a penny-farthing to his nearest artisinal vegan restaurant, you may have some success with renting "tiny homes." 

It's been a year long roller coaster ride but I now own 5 properties (6 doors) and am hunting for #6 to be closed on by the end of the year.

I would not count on a lot of upward movement from here on out though I think many markets are at the top.. demand is still there no doubt but we are seeing push back on raising prices anymore.I also bought 11 New constructions in the mid 2000's for go zone bene's  and I had them put in scored concrete floors and they were brick homes.. other than hail damage these have been worry free .. the Go zone tax bene's sunseted on the recapture so I am selling them all.. they never went up and I am breaking even.. which is pretty good since I bought at almost the peak in 2006 ish.I read you other post.. your issues as is all issues with rentals is in PM it looks like and maybe you did not pick the more expensive less headache properties its common for many to pick the one's that look best on paper but then you soon realize they only do because they are not in the greatest areas.As for your Dallas stuff  TAX's and foundation issues just eat your lunch in Texas..
