House gets foreclosed on when a borrower is not paying its debt obligations - typically its mortgage.buying foreclosures is not for the faint of heart as you have no idea of the interior of these properties lastly while it can be beneficial also realize if there are a lot in an area those homes are the new comps when trying to sell so it lowers home values in an area 

I would take Travis advice to heart as he is from the area.My advice was going to be to find an agent or PM or an investor who is making it work and follow their lead. 

Let me just lead with EXCELLENT customer service.

However, that will likely lead to increased turnover and increased vacancy time in between tenants.

@Shayan Sameer If you can service all debt and property expenses and have money left over then I'd say it's worth it.

If it is indeed I/O, I would just make sure you have enough NOI to cover the refi with some conservative debt sizing assumptions.

Our property management company is 4 years old and nearly every lead we get is from referrals.

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.  

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes.
