If anything hits the fan, and something always does - this setup can blow up in your faces big time.

I'm a huge fan of stoic philosophy, Obstacle is the way by Ryan holiday is a great book that makes you think differently about challenges that come up in life and business 

@Dennis Shirshikov  I am a fan of Rod Khleif's Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing.

I could pull 90K out of my primary with a cash-out refi, but the wife is loving our 3% interest rate and is not a fan of the higher payment.

I’d love to return to New England with at least one established property and the associated experience managing it so that we can continue to scale from out of market. 

yes i am definitely a fan of doing the work I can, learned alot from youtube lol. do you think starting at 2pm is a problem though?

I’m not a huge fan of amending but when done properly you won’t have to wait two years for your income to catch up to your investing goals.The key is working with the mortgage provider BEFORE filing any of your returns, amended or otherwise.My team and I review the tax returns and run the income calcs before you file the amended return to make sure that you are not overpaying on income taxes and more importantly, we make sure that you are not filing an amended return with too little income.FYI - most accountants will fight with you and tell you that their preparation will save you money on taxes and allow you to still be approved for a mortgage, but 99% of the time that is false.I prove them wrong on a very regular basis.So, to summarize, you need a progressive mortgage provider and a progressive accountant to make this work now and in the future for you.  

I'm a fan of the 203k loan.If your targeting MA (or not but want to talk with other investors either way), depending on your availability and when you come back to the states we have meetups for Massachusetts in person and virtually still for likeminded investors to meet other investors.Thank you for your service and stay safe out there.
