This allows me to regularly check (annually or biannually) to make sure their rates stay competitive.I do use a bookkeeper/CPA that keeps an eye on all of my payments and accounts.The bookkeeper/CPA is my second set of eyes on my finances and helps hold me accountable and even fixed things before they get urgent. 

Hi BP Friends,We just closed on our second property (a duplex) that we bought for under $60k! 

We will have lived in it as our primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years when we sell it.Last summer we bought and moved into a second home (House #2).

I’m two days from closing on my first rental property and I just found out that the property’s basement flooded for the second time in the last week.

Not sure yet what I'd do if I buy 123 First Street and 123 Second Street since my system wouldn't allow me to use "123" twice.

We also added a second bathroom on the first floor.

@Jose AbreuI looking to start investing as well, I do have 2 properties, one is a multifamily with no mortgage and my primary resident with mortgage which the mortgage very low if I decided to rent it, I can double the mortgage.I just don't know if refinance my multifamily to buy another multifamily or use hard money to put a down payment wants is rented and can refinance second multifamily to pay off hard money.

Does having one mortgage affect my ability to get a second for myself? 

However, I think its your work history that is having the lenders second guessing themselves.

Secondly, as you stated, you do not have a team on the ground there.
