Secondly, assuming I could qualify with current averaged income should I go ahead or would it be wise to hold off and wait until after I file 2014 and can on paper show this increase?

Okay I found it, I never though of clicking on my picture, which brings up my next comment.

You are WAY ahead of the power curve and real estate is one of the best way to take control of your life.  

@Jassem A. as far as tenants, I think under FHA after a year of using that address you are allowed to rent, so I would go ahead and use my real address at that point.

Once you have an understanding of the math, you will realize just how hard it is to come out ahead if you cash out.

my opinion, refi the property. let the tenants make the payments just as you are now. use the proceeds from the refi to buy and rehab another property. then, when that is rented and going well, refi that and do it again. always us other peoples money. leave yourself with some positive cash flow from each place, but if you really want to move ahead, equity that is just on paper will do nothing for you. idle money does no one any good

That said, do you out of courtesy give the tenant a heads up and set an appointment on a specific day, at a specific time and request that the tenant (or at least somebody over the age of eighteen whose name is on the lease) be there in person during the "Maintenance Check",ORdo you just show up unannounced, knock on the door/ring the bell loud enough to be heard and let the tenant let you in and then proceed with the "Maintenance Check",ORshow up unannounced, knock on the door/ring the bell loud enough to be heard and if nobody is home, or nobody answers, let yourself in, announce yourself loudly once inside and once confirmed that nobody is home proceed with the "Maintenance Check"?
