Repayment options can be more flexible like in my case I do everything on accrual this really helps flippers when they dont have to make monthly payments.

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

@Robert MedinaI agree with @JD Martin that you’re in a strong position with $600/month cash flow and a solid equity base.

@Lina Truong definitely submerse yourself in MTR learning for at least 2-3 months.

Every month you are paying $400/month, almost $5k/year for your properties. 

It may be worth waiting the 6 months to refi into better terms.

Utilities are OFTEN overlooked so reach out to power, telecom, gas (or go all electric), water, and sewer to make sure you understand what it would take to get separately metered services from the primary house.

You are dealing with your first eviction/rehab but if that happens again in 6 months and it takes months to evict will that financially stress you?

I need to wait a few months though. 

This job took us about 9-10 months if I remember correctly.
