Obtaining the V.A. loan is going to allow you to put more liquid cash toward renovations. 

There are seasonal dips in income here on the barrier island of E Florida. 

I'm tired of receiving e-mails from ILUVHOMES@ PROPERTYMAN@ or FASTCASH@ gmail,yahoo, or whatever.

Scaling is not an overnight scenario unless of course you have a lot of liquid cash to go through. 

Cheers, it's ballpark like algebra.You can't easily solve this:a + b + c + d + e = fBut you can easily solve this:44 + b + 23 + 13 + 48 = 155And, once you have solved that, you will likely be able to solve one with 2 unknowns, and work from there.

An investor looking for liquidity may value a REIT.

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)

If you haven't read "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber, I highly recommend it.

USNWC is a favorite of mine as well!
