My question is, how do I take money out of the property or leverage the property so I can buy the next one? 

Exterior work is difficult from Mid November through late March, but most of it can be done besides painting.

If you can do 2+ hours/day, you will quickly begin building momentum.

Unlike florida, where the entire state can pretty much be clobbered. 

You can charge higher rates than a traditional long-term lease, but ensure your pricing aligns with the demand in your area.Marketing: Platforms like Furnished Finder, Airbnb (for longer stays), and even Zillow can help you get exposure.

It seems these can be constructed fairly easily for around 6-8K.

How can I tell if things are legit here ? 

We've reported it and hope it can be fixed soon.

Revolving credit is the worst kind you can have on your credit report.  

Is there anything we can help you with?
