agree .. other wise its just the bottom feeders looking to take his equity from him  with couching it as a rescue.. his best bet it to sell if its owner occ the profit is tax free .. regroup and start over.. 

These are big money plays life changing profits but RISK you bet..

That’s the best bet. 

If you cannot prove income then our rental DSCR loan will be your best bet. 

I would bet the older homes will see a lot more appreciation than the newer homes, percentage wise. 

The quicker you can take action on the high dollar value decsions the quicker you will be able to grow.For sure take the time to setup the right foundation, but keeping it simple and easy when you are getting going is a safe bet!

The Midwest is probably your best bet for a number of reasons.

If we face any headwinds, liquid investments go first so probably crypto but then you bet equities will get pressed.

It isn't impossible but as @Jimmy Lieu mentioned, there is a steep learning curve.Depending on your liquidity, out-of-state buy & hold rentals could be your best bet if NYC investing is out of the picture.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure.
