This is a fantastic platform to connect with fellow investors and grow your portfolio. 

Hi Nando, I'm an Agent and Investor in the Spokane area but I have a good network in the greater Seattle area.

I think we have the best advantage because we are where many of the investors want to be and we can drive the neighborhoods ourselves and know where the transitioning areas are. 

Your plan sounds feasible, but there are a few things to keep in mind:DSCR Loan Flexibility – DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are designed for investors, meaning there typically aren’t occupancy restrictions like conventional loans have.

Trying to “take over” a vacant property that appears abandoned is not for the untrained would-be investor.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Most of the investors here are residential.

But others investors with different risk tolerances, goals and financial situations invest in the platform.2) I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

Many investors that I have worked with utilize quitclaim deeds or other ways to transfer ownership after the fact, but like David said you need to make sure it will not jeopardize any financing, etc.

Pro Investors only.
