You can sell a few to pay off the rest or 1031 them into passive income.Any property you buy today should appreciate about 4.9% p.a. that's been US average (insert a % you believe is right, I believe Milwaukee may actually beat this number) over the next decades and your downpayment is leveraged 4:1, so that in itself produces a lot more equity over decades than you could ever safe up. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

It is good practice to obtain from them the actual 1098 and to remind them that they are no longer entitled to the deduction since they aren't making the payments anymore (again, these things are usually spelled out in the sub2 agreement).

It increases cost for what actual benefit? 

I believe the extra units are not actually legit in terms of zoning or COO.

I know about Pace and Ryan Pineda, but don’t think those are the best fit for me at this time.PS- Youtube and BP has become my best friend, I have gone through the 7-day WREIN masterclass, I’m reading books, so I am knowledgeable in many areas, but trying to put all the pieces together is where I’m at.  

I've been reading books and doing research and I want to start actually investing in out of state properties.
