Price fair, don't get greedy, play the long game.

Most times when evaluating a DSCR mortgage, market rent will come into play.

I just want you to go into your investing as prepared as possible.

@Eric E.UBIT only comes into play in an IRA on leveraged real estate and running an active business.

.: I always play it by ear.

It’s a great way to grow faster.HELOC or Equity Tapping: If you have equity in another property, using a HELOC or cash-out refinance could help cover the down payment without affecting your DTI as much.Seller Financing or Creative Deals: Look for sellers willing to finance directly, which bypasses traditional mortgage qualification hurdles.Scaling quickly often involves combining strategies—play around with what works best for your goals.

This is a very different space than most folks here on BP play in from what I have seen.

Not a lot to add here, just the simple advice to make it as easy as possible to pay rent. 

I know real estate is a long term play but you never know when you'll need access to that capital.There are turnkey companies out there that handle the entire process for you from top to bottom so it makes for an extremely passive investment.
