As of now I'm working with my junior realtor (close friend & new to the industry) to source a property where the rent income will be able to cover debt service and operating expenses all while living in one of the units (therefore, removing the rental income of that unit from the equation).

To make a long story short; debt accumulated from college has left me in a bit of a bind as I’m living pay check to pay check trying to pay off the debt accumulated as a result of college.

We live comfortably mainly because we have no bills, and we live in an inexpensive place. 6 months ago, my wife and I were able to buy another house.

When running the 50% Rule, after you subtract your debt service how much CASHFLOW would you shoot for per door?

Satya,I invest in KC mainly in SFHs but also looking to expand to MFHs.

Start looking for other partners who are ok with being debt partners.

The interest rate is the main issue in my eyes and refinancing isn’t good option evidently when you live and work abroad.

No access to base, but live just outside the main gate.  

I know that's almost doubling the passive income but for such a huge commitment in time and debt, it doesn't seem quite worth the risk.Try a BRRRR using the stored equity and do a series of smaller and cheaper SFH.
