Maybe this when I start writing a book?   

Also, I'm afraid of what may happen when this record bull market finally "corrects".

@Anita Muhammad not sure what CLUELESS book you are reading, but short answer to your question, YES. buy, refi buy more , do again and again. .Rentals provide freedom. good luck 

I am reading a Robert Irwin book which suggests buying a home every 1-2 years as your primary residence, and renting out the previous residences as investments.

While I was also going to get a CPA to help me with this, would I benefit from the, "Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor" book when I am looking at international properties or is it geared towards only domestic properties?

I know this is considered wisdom, but I don't want to start in real estate if its gonna take what I described above plus 20 years of slow.and steady progress to finally be able to make 30k per year profit. 

Hello everyone,I know for determining ARVs it depends on a variety of factors (area, neighborhood, condition, comps, etc) but from what you've noticed in your own personal deals and the final appraisal what are some things within your control generally to increase ARVs?

I had to go through the process of signing a new lease, meeting the existing tenants, doing repairs, enforcing rent payment rules, violations from code enforcement and finally an eviction.    

I'm definitely not in a hurry, so I will likely be spending the next few months reading books and visiting properties before I make any major commitments.
