I would also renovate the current 2 duplexes and increase rents (personally I would MTR or STR if applicable).This shouldn't stop you from acquiring more assets with your current income!

Hi @Carlos SilvaFHA and VA are going to be tricky to get assumed and most likely reject your application if you don't move to the property. 

While the rentals within walking distance are considered more desirable by many, including graduate students and medical residents, I do receive applications from them.

Give yourself a 12‑week sprint: analyze 10 deals a week, attend one meetup, and post a weekly progress update to build accountability and attract mentors.

They may even spend a couple of hours with you on a Saturday (but NOT Sunday) to tour a few properties - preferrably one or two undergoing a decent amount of RentReady repairs or rehab.Make it clear to anyone you hire that you expect VIDEO updates of rehab progress!
