Great that you are cashflowing but your expenses (repairs, taxes, insurance,etc) continue to rise even when the tenant is good.

I've been fortunate to have overall good tenants but a lot of that comes from either networking or extensive background checks.Although I am trying to reach FI sooner, but when my mortgages are paid off and with modest rising rents, I should be netting at least about $100,000 a year off of three doors when I am of retirement age. 

Just look at the completed sales in your area for the types of properties you want to buy and you will likely see some names and brokerages rise above the rest. 

Effective 16.09% hike across our portfolio.  None of them were new purchases during the year.
How about you?

Usually, it comes down to:-financial stability of the HOA-any litigations-if it's low-rise/high-riseIf the above list is not an issue with your unit, there's a path forward for getting Delayed Finance for Non-Warrantable Condos.

I did a cash-out refi last summer on my primary residence and with values of homes continuing to rise I am curious if I can do a HELCO after a cash-out refi.I didn't take all the cash-out I could have as I was wanting to stay below a Jumbo on the cash-out thus resulting in remaining equity in my house.Thanks is advance for your guidance.

Every natural being needs a home, so demand for housing remains rising.

I'd recommend rise and repeat!!!

-With interest rates expecting to rise over the next year, does this change the risk of using an FHA and then refinancing?

In today's uncertain economic times, you don't want to be locked into a variable rate since interest rates are expected to rise.
