I currently own $970k in real estate and I'm looking to purchase two multifamily properties this year so that I can cross the $1.5-2M mark in real estate investment.

I would like to see a followup article that cross references these locations with landlord friendly states, average purchase price of 1 BR apartments, and maybe something like regional appreciation over the last 10 years or so.

Utilities is that "thing", it's never been perfect, I have heard more ideas and strategies to get it "perfect" than I can count, and have tried countless things.

Purchase price: $450,000 Now performing as one of Colorado Springs biggest bedroom count AirBNB's.

Ive heard too that looking for properties doesn’t count towards the 750 hours requirement.

Many people blame the decrease in population in Bloomington because the Census counted the population after students were told not to return to class due to COVID.

With the built-up equity in your current portfolio, I'd recommend cross-collateralization via your purchase loan. 

Shouldn't the Cash out refinance counts as Reserves?

It is rental income from the subject property that you're buying that can be counted as income.
