Let me walk you through some exciting trends that I’ve observed firsthand, which could shape the future of your portfolio.1.

In honor of Halloween what are the scariest things about investing past, present, or future for experienced investors? 

This is going to do two things to help you in the future to free up your VA entitlement so you can buy another home 100%. 

You will have to gather more accurate operating costs (vacancy loss, taxes, utilities, insurance, mgmt fees, maintenance, HOA) to best determine potential future performance.

The overall LTV (including all 3 mortgages) will be key and your selling point will need to be that the 2nd mortgage ($8k) will burn off in 2.5 years (based on your surprise that it was even out there, I'd recommend that you follow up in 2.5 years and ensure that it's been satisified, so that it doesn't surprise you again in the future).Does the $8k grant vest over the 5 years? 

In the future, we aim to get into fixer-uppers, development, etc., but for now, we like to only consider semi-stabilized (with minimal deferred maintenance) or fully stabilized, cash-flowing properties. 

It’s so mental but if you have stuffed feelings of hatred against the successful people you see you actually are also going to judge your future self for becoming successful and likely sabotage it before you get there. 

The problem is you don’t know who is or isn’t until after their future forecast is either confirmed or denied.

I would say go for it if that is what you expect to incur in the future or you are still growing.

And when you said the management company takes a 550 credit score , all I see in your future are evictions .
