Strategy and IRS code talk usually emerges once you have an idea of what you're after.

-I run a eCommerce business that generates about 2k/month cash-flow (the profit goes to my Emergency Fund account, I opened this account)*I've been reading alot about both Residential and Commercial RE Books.

I hate refinancing when you get close to pay off, but since I borrowed the money for the down on the house I am reselling from my rehab fund and emergency fund, I would like to repay those and not just reinvest. 

My Dad and my step mom (the two I live with) both have bachelors degrees in the medical field.

Plenty of Medical Centers and small tech companies are replacing the mega ones that have left the state.

Step back and ask all the questions as if you are the tenant:  would you live there, how are schools, crime, location to work, shopping, etc  Also, is it rental friendly, laws favor landlord or tenant, are there a lot of rentals or own/occ, is it safe at night for you to do an emergency repair, etc. 

I'd say that some factors are:Tenant ScreeningRealistic projections/expectations of maintenance/expenses (VACANCY/TURNOVER)  UP FRONTKeeping the units more desirable than the competition (Basically keep them nice)Charging the right amounts for rent (slightly under market)Keeping solid Reserves for emergencies (Not spreading yourself too thin, keeping a budget, saving cash flow rather than spending it all)

If you have some cash and they will take little to no down payment, you could purchase it for yourself to hold as a rental property for monthly income (the numbers must make sense and you need some cash reserves for emergencies!)

hi Martin,Jay knows far more then me about emerging markets but your question is the correct one.

It will be a safety net/emergency fund. 2.
