I started looking for value ad opportunities and changed from duplexes to single family for a more hands off management, which is what I needed to scale up while still working for a global company.The following years the rehabs got more involved and the properties got more expensive, because I started to realize that only a certain quality of neighborhood would allow me to do a full blown gut rehab and not lose equity in the process. 

Do you use the extra cashflow ($2000) to payback the principal balance, or to maximize the benefit of leverage you only pay back interest only for the first 10 years?

So what’s the technique used for discovering there’s a secret extra tenant living there?

We also striped the siding and the roof and added all new so that the old part of the house matched the new part of the house. 

But if it's still possible, staying with a smaller mortgage payment while sinking the difference and any extra into student loans would probably accelerate your goals.

Still, holding rental real estate inside of a C Corp does make sense in very limited fact patterns.You might benefit tremendously from adding a tax CPA/EA and an attorney to your list of external partners.

I will be building out my back of house and adding a laundry room addition on the back of the house.
