That's the theory anyway.All that being said I am still trying to figure out how to take my local business to the next level much less branch out nationally.

The house is still in the "owner/non-profit/gov't" phase (no investors - in theory). 

I am apprehensive on going it alone simply because of my real-life knowledge of it all, I don't want to sign into something that's over my head without knowing it- Theory to practice is always a big leap!

As you remove the meth heads, you'll be able to attract better tenants at higher rents (in theory). 

Drywall mud falls off corner beads without too much prodding - all it takes is a good bang with a piece of furniture.

@Sultan Maawali  Many people get into "wholesaling" because in theory it is "free", and in theory that is true.  

The theory is to trade some of our built up equity for less intensive management. 

In theory, someone could buy both lots, tear them down and put up a triplex or fourplex.

Im going to give you (im not a counselor or give advise) my theorie of success; or you may start at the paragraph; starting with smart living crowdfunnding:I said many years ago.

Michael Loflin ,Thank you for your reply I have come to the conclusion that I am going to have to wait till the 6 month Seasoning Period ( June of this year ) , before I can do the Cash-Out refi.My plan is to get 80% LTV on my Primary , which will give me $17,000 that I can get from the refi , and then Have my All-In costs on the next Investment property be around the $70,000 mark, at a down payment on my part of 25%  ( assumes a Portfolio Loan ) ...... so around a $17,000 down payment if 25% down is what I have to come up with The amount I get from the Refi will cover ( In Theory ) 100% of what I'll need for the Down payment ( I am adding Closing costs into this $70,000 figure as well )These two properties from what I have learned via keeping up with the market in the are for going on a year now .....
