I’m currently looking for some advice on purchasing my first full time investment property.I bought my first primary home (single family) in 2016 with a FHA.

Financially, that is probably the better move.If knowing your primary residence is paid for in full gives you a greater peace of mind, then do that. 

Also, do you rely on Virtual Assistants or full-time staff to handle comms and requests?

You can search for a service processor.

Hey Michael, I have 12-doors in Detroit and happy to share my insurance agent's info as well as a local broker I know that works with a lot of investors. 

If you want to chat more or want to be connected with an agent who is local to the area and can help you run numbers and find the property, just message me! 

Depending on the state the properties are located in, some lenders will let you pull 80% cash out during the refinance process as long as the property meets a 1x debt service.

There are also no ratio products that do not require the property to debt service.

It is so limited and seems like you have to login to the full site for most tasks especially when leasing and trying to get to Tenant Turner to see appointments on our iPhones.We are considering changing platforms and my current software spend with Tenant Turner is roughly $100/month or $6.67/unit.

Cash flow-oriented investors would do well in this market, since Montgomery’s rent-to-price ratios are very favorable—for instance, we’re seeing $150,000 properties in B/B+ neighborhoods fetch monthly gross rents of $1,200 to $1,300.By the way, if you’re looking for financing, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan could be a good option for you since you’re an international investor.
