I gave him my phone number and told him to get the affidavit from the courthouse to sign and bring it to me along with the $6000.

I am based in Minnesota and also have connections in Louisiana. 

All of my tenants have both my personal phone number as well as my contractor’s phone number as I am very hands on.

Although based on my research too, being a loan officer is very time consuming too.

However, for any SFR and duplex, a residential lender will value the property based off the sales comp approach, just an FYI!

I've recently had the roof replaced and fully updated the common areas.Here's a breakdown of the situation: The units are currently marketed as furnished rentals (cashflow well), and based on the current income of the 4 units I own, I anticipate that all 6 units combined will gross $182,400 annually.

While I am not based in KC I am familiar with the area investment-wise. 

For myself, I think my ultimate goal is to have an alternate cash flow to offset my dependence on a day job, which would allow me to choose a job I enjoy rather than have to find a job based on salary and ultimately allow me to travel with family more and enjoy life rather than stress about money.Thanks in advance and hope to connect and gain wisdom!

I would base my decision on that.

My goal would be to buy, rehab, get up to market rents, refinance at a better rate.Three duplexes in Virginia:Property 1 (2 units - 2 bed 1 bath each)- Appraised Value: $245k- Mortgage Payoff - $183k- PITI: $1709.57 - Interest Rate: 9.25%- Total Current Rent: $600 (one unit is vacant)- Market Rent Based on HUD: $2986Property 2: (2 units - 2 bed 1 bath each)- Appraised Value: $270k- Mortgage Payoff - $202k- PITI: $1845.29- Interest Rate: 9.25%- Total Current Rent: $1450 - Market Rent Based on HUD: $2986Property 3: (2 units - First is 3 bed 1 bath, second is2 bed 1 bath)- Appraised Value: $263k- Mortgage Payoff - $190k- PITI: $1809.04- Interest Rate: 9.25%- Total Current Rent: $1500- Market Rent Based on HUD: $3572Other Factors:Total Current PITI is $5363.90Total Rent is $3550Tenants are all month to month with 1 unit vacantEquity After Deal: $197k (may be more as appraisals were done 1 year ago)Rehab costs to get market rent: $20k per unit or $120kLet me know your thoughts!
