Also you can take a second job to increase those 2k savings, or grow inside the job you already have.

To increase value focus on Kitchens and baths.

I do not see how you will ever get a rent increase pay back in any reasonable amount of time doing any more than that on the outside.

If you start slowly, it gives you time to learn and network, and in the meantime, you increase rents and your mortgage stays the same, which opens that gap in your DTI. 

Do people find it harder to BRRR with multi-plexes than SFR due to lack of comparable sales proving the increased value after renovation?

It also looks like there is room to increase the rent because these are two bed, 1 bath units and they are paying less than I was paying for a 1 bed 1 bath a few years ago. 

There are a lot of loan programs that are solely based on the property income, so if the rent is solid and market rent is solid (taken into consideration), then you should easily be able to get a loanThank you.Jared

I feel I am ready now.My focus is on increasing cash flow and building equity.  

I recently refinanced multiple properties and even though my average rate increased I was able to buy enough properties that I doubled my cash flow in less than 12 months. 

What specifically do you plan to do to force appreciation, and therefore possibly increase rents, and therefore property value and overall financial performance?
