Starting out with a SFH or duplex is great because you won't have as many moving parts.

With interest rates so low we have refinanced into several 15 year mortgages with the goal of quickly paying down/off a few properties.

If I rent it, it won't cash flow more than 2%, which is sort of ok as my goals is creating a portfolio of additional income for retirement (12 years from now)  If I sell it I will likley lose a little money ($5-$10k) I Used a VA loan to purchase zero down and will be living in it for 24 months while I do the rehab.purchase price $330K, rehab $15k, Estimated ARV is $370k.  

I've thought about my goals, and they're pretty conservative.

Buy a higher priced home with the goal of a fast sale to a tenant owner with less work involved.

Once you had enough set aside for you next venture, you can use that money.Talk to your bank about what your options are-both in terms of could you borrow more money without paying down the current loan and what the interest rates would be.Everyone has different goals, so you need to decide what works best for you. 

Property managers must take on these challenges if they want to realize the clients goals.

Interest rates around 6% but looking to move for work.
