Jj Horst Thoughts on this plan to get to $6k / month?

They are both fairly close to downtown (8 min or so)Property A is probably worth around $350kBoth sides rented = $2225 (which is actually decently high for the home and area)Property B is hopefully worth around $500k once the rehab is complete (we bought for $332 in abysmal condition, I don't know how we passed FHA inspection  .... :) )Property B would rent for probably $3500 total ($1650 for the smaller side $1850 for the larger side)Neither will ever come close to earning $1k of rent per $100k of home value so seems to make sense to try and take that equity and spread it out into properties where it can earn more rent, even if those properties aren't appreciating like these two seem to be.

This also depends on your personal credit score, but i think you should be able to do 80% LTV which would give you another 15k. 6% right now does not seem that high although i think if you work with smaller local bank / union, you might get closer to 5.5%-6.0% right now.
