Refinance into a debt service loan.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

That does not require employment or job seasoning instead it uses the rents to qualify and you can take out up to 80% LTV cash.Use the cash to put down on the next 1-2 or more properties as long as the other properties are debt servicing themselves it opens up more opportuities to buy more future assets and increase your passice income.  

If there is no debt service probably 30% is still going of the rent is still going to operating expenses which means that you only made about 480k or so. 480k rents + 800k property is the same 1.3million roughly.

On the other hand, I’m hesitant to simply pay down more of a property, as we don’t need the immediate cash flow.Fortunately, both my wife’s job and mine are recession-proof, which allows us to be a bit more aggressive with our investments.I’d really appreciate advice from investors who have experience with frequent moves or military service.

I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

Servicing: Milwaukee County, Racine County, and Kenosha County.

Still can be very beneficial for a new investor but personally I think not as good as a service as they had with their exclusive listings where they had inspections already done, rent rolls available, and you can complete the entire offer/acceptance via their platform rather than being handed off to an agent. 

Its normally fee service providers who are the greatest advocates of the program, whether it be agents, PM's, coaches/gurus. 

Most PM's here charge 15-20%, most are 20, but will depend on what services they offer.
