You are so right about analysis paralysis 😁Not too concerned about mechanics though I would like to learn more about how to best use CRMs (specifically freedomsoft), but also would like to learn specifics regarding forming LLC structures and tax strategies 🤔

DSCR lenders are much more flexible with income requirements and don’t require W-2s or tax returns.I’d be happy to connect and chat more if you’re interested!

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

What are your best tips for screening tenants, especially for student renters?

That is a great tip! 

Tax Savings:While it’s true that the stock market has been strong, real estate offers unique tax advantages that aren’t available with other asset classes.

so I used 1.5% as a property tax number, and I used $200 mo for insurance.

So, in your considerations, I would park right there for a bit and determine how this would look for you.Since you have about 2.5 years to think about it before you would need to spring into action to take advantage of the rollover for tax advantages, maybe you try on a rental and see how it fits. 

A rent payment isn't enough to cover the DSCR payment, HELOC payment, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
