Based on what you have done already I am guessing you like the long term appreciation and cashflow approach to real estate investing.I dont have any information on how you acquired your other properties or what your financial position so take my advice as "what I would do" advice.You just bought a home that you put down between 5-20% so it probably drained you a bit.

@Nathan Realph,Here's a few thoughts on things to look for in a lender...Using a HML or PML to acquire good properties that need renovation is a great way to leverage your resources.

I ultimately decided to move away from SFH’s because the amount of work required to continue to scale wasn’t feasible alongside a full time job.Investing passively via syndicates opened my eyes to how I could benefit from real professionals sourcing, acquiring, doing due diligence and managing my asset all without any ongoing time commitment from me.

Avoid the biggies like foundations, termite damage (unless it's easy to access and fix), mold / lead paint / asbestos remediation, full kitchen/bath remodels, etc. 

Chasing them away means smoke remediation needs to be done right away. 

Good luck and great job with acquiring 16 properties and self managing!!!

Sometimes there are years in between acquiring houses.

We bought our first house in 2014 (a 3 family with lots of problems) and within a few months it created a raging hunger inside of me to acquire more.

If so, what has your experience been like as far as profitability, acquiring properties, working with property management firms, DC vacation rental laws etc.

Acquired at auction so the price was right.
