The property is worth 210k and I owe about 140k on it.I have another 80k saved up and would like to put about 60k towards my next property (leaving 20k for emergency funds, rehabs, personal fund etc.)I have zero debt (no student loans, no car payment) outside of the HELOC I had to purchase the first property I stated above and most of my living expenses are paid by my employer (car, gas, cell phone).I am based out of Central Pennsylvania and am looking to stay somewhat locally for my first few properties (Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Lancaster, Hershey etc.) and am not really interested in out of state investing.Just looking for some advice or input on what you would do next if you were in my situation,Any input and info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Being active duty I take for granted the steady pay check the 1st and the 15th unless you have stable base it may be a difficult transition.

My total out of pocket is $85k.From my understanding, it being 7 units, the property is appraised based on NOI/Cap rate.

Personally, based on my research, I feel like if you are fully aware of the permitting and inspection requirements in your market of choice, the costs of getting up and running will be taken care of very rapidly if you are planning to pursue shipping container construction as a model.  

There are many online schools and live classroom-based options, however I was encouraged to use Real Estate Express.

I have patlive screening my calls, and every caller that didn't just tell me to go F myself, I called back and made a verbal offer to based on the numbers I was told to use here at BP in addition to some of my own assumptions.I make cash offers by a CMA to get ARV.  

However, at least you have your bases covered.  

Add that to your projected holding costs and rehab numbers to make an offer based on all of those details.  

Similarly, any contractors that should be avoided based on bad experiences?

I found AWB, they are based in FL but sell in OH.
