I have a designer who only does rental properties. 

We decided to quit buying rentals to hold, and instead, the units that we typically would rehab and hold, we are going to rehab and sell.

If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright. 

Should landlords put signs on rental properties?

.: Have you confirmed he's still in the rental?

Should we pursue a "cheap" rental in order to build rental history in the hopes of securing DSCR loans down the road? 

Best strategy rather than DST.... is just sell primary, move to rental, sell rental, and buy another primary if equity is already less than 40%.Track records are in every PPM. 

My Expensive Lesson)My first rental with REI Nation turned into an absolute money pit.

NY Property Taxes, and utility expenses was one thing keeping us from generating a higher cash flow from rental properties.

I’d recommend connecting with local property managers and agents as soon as possible—agents can help you identify deals that fit your BRRRR criteria, and property managers can give insight into rental demand and market rents.
