Since you are paying cash, you can buy it in an LLC right off the bat, so that's fine.

Investors get stuck and cannot cash out because of tax complications.

I’m currently diving into the real estate world, focusing on finding off market deals and distressed properties as a bird dog.

my initial thoughts would be it may be a slight turn off to potential future tenants when the fire alarm goes off.

DSCR qualifies borrowers with rental income rather than personal income, so you don't need tax returns.

In the past I have driven for dollars, and I have steadily found off market deals and potential flips.

That's 50k a year gone and you are losing tax write-offs and equity potential.

However, don't have any of those loans anymore (most paid off).The only thing I do that you don't, is use trusts, and love them and they have saved my bacon a number of times.When you said all those loans have paid off, are you utilizing other methods than Sub2 at this time?

This property was in terrible condition, however will a little vision and hard work it paid off.

Purchase price: $107,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Sale price: $280,000 Sourced an off market fix & flip deal in the western suburbs of Atlanta near an area where I knew an Amazon facility was being constructed and buyer demand would pick up.
