Feel free to PM me @Eric Johnson.

You can also make your place more trouble-free by fixing things up front that are most likely to break (new light fixtures, light bulbs, door locks, etc.).

If you need more specific guidance or connections to experts in this space, feel free to DM me, and I'll point you in the right direction!

Since you’re focused on buy & hold multiplexes, consider networking with local investors, refining your underwriting skills, and researching markets with strong cash flow and appreciation potential.

I have a 2.1% 20-year fixed on my primary residence so I would not consider a cash out refi. 

I do measure my cash on cash return for my business and for each property. 

They are empty (sorta) and the new owners (inheritance)need to cash out or create cash flow. 

Please feel free to reach out if I can be of service.

My first reaction to your post is if you're purchasing assets that are throwing off positive cash but your DTI is going up then it may be time to re-evaluate the type of assets or the expenses associated with those assets.  2.
