Being more strategic on repairs. 

Your root problem is you had A strategy set, as in singular, one, and when things went sideways your trying to formulate a plan B.

What is also done is to formulate a mean or median return rates based upon which time metric you want, be it 1 quarter, year, 2 years, 5 years etc because as you point out it will be in flux each month/period as your invested capital decreases. 

These reinvestment requirements can figure strategically for you depending on what you can find for a replacement property and loan. 

I've also wanted my CPA, my tax and asset protection attorney and my investment advisor to talk to each other so all heard what the issues and concerns were of each and to make strategic decisions that were best for my situation.  

I don’t mind doing hard money loan to refinance later as my credit score is 800 ish +/-2) continue on the turnkey path and buy them very quick and pay them off knowing fully well that 4 plex turnkey don’t exist so I have to hit my 10 mortgage limit (not interested in creative financing right now) and pay off 1 loan quickly and buy another, etc... then rinse and repeat.3) combination of both 1&2After I close on my duplex I have 5 more loans to go to hit my 10 loan cap so I want to be more strategic to take advantage of the interest rates being as low as they are right now.Any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Most of you little Yoomanz however are too scared to be patient and look at the bigger picture especially when you do not see immediate results with every cent you spent.But think strategically and you will go far!

Once you know that then you create the strategic way to get to you goal.

After formulating my plan, and identifying my target markets, I miraculously was able to secure funding from someone who trusted my vision.Last year, I attended 2 tax sale auctions ( Carroll County MD and Washington DC) and invested $113,000 in 5 liens. 2 were redeemed on their own, and I moved to foreclose on 3 of them, and ended up generating 10% profit overall as a result of interest.

As far as leverage goes, personally I had an acquisition phase,  maintain/optimize phase, then payoff and strategic exit phase.I've paid off a bunch, but all for specific reasons.
