But how do the investments go from negative to positive 6%? 

You seem to really understand the position I am in with trying to find the right locations within SA. 

Can anyone offer any feedback?

I do have additional cash on hand to invest but I would like to use the equity build up in these two properties in addition to put myself in an even better position to purchase either a couple more SFR or a Multi family.Both homes are located in Nampa, Idaho and are financed through a large bank, not a local community bank which I would like to start building a relationship with.I would appreciate any advice.Thanks,Devon

Hi everyone, I wanted to throw out a question and get some ideas/feedback back from you guys.Trying to soak up as much information as possible before I make my first purchase If you had to start from the beginning,  and you had $50,000 cash to invest, and your ultimate goal was to quit your day job and do this for a living within the next 5-10 yrs, how would you invest? 

I don't wish to try and take advantage of anyone but I have a feeing more work needs to be done that I'm seeing, and I'm scared to offer more.Any opinions (positive or negative) are certinly welcome.

I currently own a home in upstate NY that is a two family, which I rent out both places with a positive cash flow of roughly $500 monthly.

Would such a redemption reinstate the 2nd and at the same time move it into first position ? 

They have been on my radar and I have seen some positive reviews but I also have some concerns.

I'm wondering what experienced investors would do in my current position.
