Plus, the faster it appreciates, the faster you can refinance and adjust your debt service to secure better terms and cash flow.

They assume the property will rent faster, tenants will appreciate getting a good deal and take care of the property, and they'll probably stay longer. 

Yes when I started I undercut other similar properties to get bookings and reviews faster.

It was producing good cash flow and appreciating but our prop taxes were going up faster than the rent. 

The sooner and faster you do this, the sooner and faster you will not have to rely on a job to live, although be cognizant that investments, again real estate or other, are a job in and of themselves.But adding to what has been stated, try to meet people who do what you want to be doing. 

I suggest this is because using a low money down product to buy a larger first property will allow you to scale your business much much faster than putting 20% down on a smaller property....

Ultimately, the faster you get to market rents, the faster you increase the value of the building which you can then use to refinance and get your capital back.Your key concern is to minimize the loss of rent if one tenant leaves and you have to find a replacement.

But, I feel like if we can eliminate the CC debt we can save faster.

I made a excel sheet to make running the numbers faster. 

It is these real life experiences that fuel my fire, and keep me going.
