Looking back, I must acknowledge that personal branding and social media played a huge role in my success.

DSCR Loans in second position is not a thing - you might find a DSCR Lender that have other products that fit this need, like a Closed End Second or HELOC, but they aren't really "DSCR Loans" - I think you are likely looking for a CES (it is true however that you are correct in looking at the same place though, most of the lenders offering this on rentals are also DSCR Lenders)

Most lists have separate providers.

The property is also in a desirable location.Do you have any recommendations for legal protection or any professionals you've worked with that you would suggest? 

Looking at various cost seg companies, anyone have experience with one they liked (or hated)?

I have enough funds for everything, however i don't qualify for a mortgage.

Terms for the seller 2nd have generally been 5%, interest only, 5 years.I'm only considering properties under this scenario that cashflow well immediately, in addition to having a strong value-add element.

I’d love to hear any ideas or creative solutions that have worked for you!

If you have $25,000 saved up, I would keep at least $5,000 of it as a reserve to handle unexpected expenses.

I have about 10k MAX to start.
