Hello BP Community - We have several dishwashers and fridges that will need to be replaced in the next couple weeks.

Since 2009, when I first attended UB, the North Campus student housing has expended quite a bit and there are still plans on large scale multi-family developments underway. 

I did a couple long term live-in "flips", but nothing at a quick pace (hence first "serious" deal).

Not sure how a couple text messages could tell you that.

Get a HML to lend on it for 24-36 months and then refi based on income a couple years down the road.

I understand that some couples set up 51% female owned to qualify as a "woman-owned business," don't know much about what this does for you, anyone else?

@Sunny ShakhawalaI have not attended Tony Robbins seminar, but listened to Zig Ziglar tapes.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you need to refi to get money out in a couple years in the future for your next down payment there is a big possibility you will be doing so at a higher interest rate.If you pay more down you are not reducing what you are paying monthly just shortening the number of payments in 25-30 years.It looks to me you are in a growth stage and having a stable predictable property with more debt (paying off at a regular rate).

@Cole ShawdThis question is difficult to answer as we don't have all the information.There are a couple of reasons your CPA may have said what he said.1) You may be making over $150,000 and not eligible to utilize passive losses from your rental against your other income.
