@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

These platforms are run by techies with no investing experience.  

I had two in a renter friendly state previously (one went without a hitch, the second not so much), I wouldn't look to repeat that experience.  

In my experience, the local banks are going to get you better rates and lower fees with their commercial loan products than the "DSCR lenders".

From my own experience, appreciation and rent growth in Vegas have been steady, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Share your experiences in the comments. 

I learned everything I know by hands on experience with active investors also. showing up at local real estate meetings and finding the people who are actually doing real investing, not blowing smoke up your.... and saying they are investors.

Only experience is renting out my first home in Springfield, VA when I was in the Navy.

My most trusted and often used contractor who lives in the area, and is practically a friend is the emergency contact.
