When you change duty stations roll the property into your companies portfolio loan and extract your equity for the next purchase.

That will get the ball rolling....  

If you have equity you can always roll the refi costs into the mortgage.

You could work out the details but it would have the same effect of letting you roll the roof into your thirty year mortgage......Even specify roof details like an agreed upon contractor and scope of work.

Renters right depending on the lease have you been able to view the rent roll or lease info?

I have been doing so much research lately trying to get something rolling.

Selling real estate you do not own is a method I have been using for years.I call the system CONTROL AND ROLL.

@Philip Ross you may want to go to mysolo401k.net you may be able to roll your IRA into a solo 401k they are much easier to use in real estate transactions and you don't need a custodian as you can act as your own trustee of the plan.Hope this helps,Good luck 

I'll be rolling all of my real estate income back into more investments, but I don't want to be left with too few funds...Do you do HVAC maintenance or do you offload that to your tenants?
