They charged 5k per person to increase one’s credit limits and help them access business credit lines. 

Other then that the property is located in the Clear Creek Independent School District -an independent school zone with super excellent ratings which I believe increases the tax bill.As for sale price -  I know for sure that a similar renovated unit has been sold in the complex for $120 just a couple of weeks ago. 

That doesnt increase because of leverage.

I have the same ones for each state so 1 for OH, 1 for FL, etc.4.Keep piling cash up so that I have reserves and as a backstop should/when the economy tanks.5.Focus on developing a side gig/business in 2019 to increase my income snowball.6.Research ways in which I can re capture my down payments and closing costs which total $170,000. 7.Go out hunting again in 2020 but keep analyzing deals between now and then and if a REAL good opportunity comes up.

Hello BP,Purchased a home that had a few indoor pets (2 dogs and 1 cat) with an increasing amount of people being allergic to pet dander I have my concerns.Although I'm going to remove all flooring and lay laminate throughout the entire house.

It's something to look into since it did sell for 1.6 million 2 years ago and demand for MHPs has only increased since then. 

The HELOC makes me nervous based on our credit utilization increasing significantly.

It's unlikely that you can increase the value by $20k with only $10k of work.

Yup...you just need to keep increasing the down payment, thus reducing the mortgage payment til the self sufficiency test is met. 

Now, in the case of buying a triplex or fourplex in a cheaper market, we are thinking a turnkey property and saw some options that would give us about $450-$600/month positive cashflow.On paper, it seems the smart option is to buy outside of state and get that cash flow going but there's one important thing, we live in a 1 bedroom apt with a 21-month old girl, which means maybe we have 1 more year at our current place and we'll definitely have to move to a 2-bd place and rent will increase by $500-$1000. at least, so then, there's not so much difference anymore.I'd love to know your thoughts.Thank you in advance!
