Once that extra rental started generating income, he realized the higher interest rate was just a temporary hiccup on the way to bigger returns.In your case, maybe look at a structure that keeps your best cash-flow property on a lighter refi (say 50% or 60% LTV) while you go a bit heavier on the one that’s not producing as much right now.

In a pinch you can check drafts with a lighter and see if the flame flickers. 

You don't need to use pure white - actually you can use any color, though lighter is easier - but you do need to use a paint brand and color that's not going to change.

If you're considering BRRRR, the FHA 203(k) loan could work for bundled purchase and renovation, but it’s often simpler to use personal funds for lighter rehab projects.You could focus on properties with strong rental potential and manageable upgrades to increase value.

I will be managing them as my full-time job is on the lighter side from a time investment standpoint.I am currently based in North Jersey.

A lot of investors have great success when they start with a deal that has lighter value-add potential and use that deal to learn how to operate a rehab.

Start small, maybe with a property that needs lighter rehab, and view it as a learning experience rather than a make-or-break deal.

Large banks will underwrite the collateral with far more scrutiny than they will the borrowers, but the borrowers will need to meet NET Worth requirements, liquidity requirements, Credit Requirements, but are often a tad lighter on experience requirements. 

@Joey Samudio - Build your team, build your team, build your team.Then build systems around each team member until you have a streamlined process from A - Z.Starting with something turnkey would surely be a lighter lift to get started.Why is it that you want to invest remotely?

Looks like they changed the interior color scheme to something lighter.
