I think it really depends on how fast you want to scale.

So it depends on if you’re filling up a tank every 2 weeks and it’s one 275 gallon tank taking approximately 175 gallons or a larger building with a 500 gallon tank taking 400 gallons once a week.

Depends on factors but a basic response would be, would you still have a decent amount of cash reserved or would be a big down payment leave your account pretty dried out?

Hopefully finished by June for the cash-out refi (interest rate dependent, ha)Trying both avenues out just to learn as much as we can from our first property.

Less work, some less return, but also can be less risky depending on the operator and fund structure. 

It's also market dependent, but in general Zillow, Apartments.com, Craiglist, Facebook and RentCafe is a good place to get tenants.

I usually offer $25 less per month for 2-yr than the 1-yr renewal option depending on rent range.

I have a high credit score and zero debt; I just don’t have the work history.

Your Credit Score: 680+ or 700+ will get you better terms depending on the lender. 660 is the minimum for many lenders.
