I work an asset company to help me determine my risk tolerance. 

Once this is determined you can select the best neighborhood and asset that fits your capabilities. 

I always look at the exit strategy for the property to determine which kind of Creative Finance I would use.

After years of research and deliberation, my wife and I determined to start our real estate portfolio in 2025.

Here were the warning signs as I remember them1.

If you're using a DSCR loan to purchase the home, most lenders use the lower of the lease agreement or 100% of the market rent from the appraisal form 1007 to determine the DSCR.

Then you can determine if you made a profit, loss or broke even.Determining your sales price can only be determined by the market. 

This means, when conventional loans aren’t an option, you may still be able to get an FHA loan.The first step is to connect with a lender who can help you explore your options and determine if you qualify.2.

Also, before you buy another property you'll want to determine your ideal next property - meaning, will it be a "rent ready" house, a major renovation project, or somewhere in between.

Did you run a DSCR calculation to determine cashflow?
