Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc), sophisticated rate management and paying all state and local hotel taxes.

In the 80s interest rates used to be double of what they are today and people still succeeded.  

I was trying to figure out how to scale my rental business when a friend of mine who had several rentals told me of his program to pay down his highest interest rate loan, with cash flow and adding other money and then applying that free-and-clear cash flow to paying off the next loan and having 2 free and clear props.

Matt Penland with State Farm was able to get me better coverage and cut my rates over TN Farm Bureau. 

BRRRR is my favorite although it's getting difficult to do these days with interest rates as high as they are.

Super low down payment and much much better rates and terms. 

@Brandon ClarkI am very sympathetic to CA investors wanting to invest in lower cost markets... but just to be very direct with you: -OOS is a LOT more challenging than advertised; and-50K is not a lot to start with.I genuinely think you will be more successful in a higher cost market that you can spend time in, rather than a random ,"lower cost" market thousands of miles away where you find something that looks nice on Zillow, spend your entire $50K on it... and then it needs a big rehab you weren't aware of, and you're negative $27K in year 1. 

Generally it is rated based on the # of properties, # of vehicles, and Limit (sold in multiples of $1,000,000).  

If I'm understanding correctly, we could keep our 1st duplex with the FHA loan (until rates lower then we'll refinance) and then still use an FHA loan for our 2nd duplex since we have lived there for over a year?
