Plan conservatively and worst case, you have extra cash in the savings account at the end of each year that you can redeploy into your next deal.

I took out my ad my bad.                                                                                                                                                           

It depends on your goals as Joe says its going to take longer for the property to pay itself off but are you adding value so you can refinance and move onto your next deal? 

I kept all their payments in place etc and only added things that were left out of the existing agreement. 

I have some experience and quite enjoy adding value to properties (I have done so to my current residence).

@Peter Padalino the other advantage of adding solar is that it is building credit with the utility when the property is vacant.

I’m guessing if he finds one extra deal per month and you make 20k on that transaction your positive hiring the work out is a plus 15k.. and your husband just assist or manages workers that complete your projects.

Stick out your job even a couple years extra than you plan for, I wish I would've worked an extra 1-2 years and got some amazing loans. 

For others, an extra 1,000 per month is not worth the headaches associated with being a landlord.Answering your second question will take us slightly off of the OP's original topic, but here goes: I certainly look at my cash on cash return.

I know we’ll get approved to pull cash out but my concern is that we’re adding debt to our residence...I know we’re sitting on some solid leverage but am hesitant to continue pulling cash out of our primary residence.
