Under contract on a portfolio of 6 properties/14 long term rental units.

Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms.

The author shares a wild story about discovering his long-term tenant was secretly running an Airbnb out of his apartment.

I am having trouble seeing the benefit of the VA loan in the long term even if I refinance as interest rates drop.

Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms.

I had 3 different long term tenants in this unit over last 13 years, never had any issues.

We have been frauded and lied to on financing terms while they said they are a conservative underwriter. 

I'm giving myself a year to learn all I can and save up a down payment for my first long-term rental in my local area.

My charter, expectation, and belief is long-term growth.

This is a single family home and was originally a primary residence before turning it into an long-term rental.Some strategies I'm considering to grow my portfolio are using a HELOC/1039 tax exchange to purchase a second investment property/multi-family property or refinancing my current investment property into a conventional loan to utilize another FHA loan for a primary residence (with the idea of eventually turning that into another long-term rental).I currently have a 7% interest rate, and am considering refinancing in the coming months if/when the rates drop.
