Before proceeding, I am seeking your expertise to evaluate whether this investment opportunity aligns with sound financial considerations.

If they can present quality information describing why they need the capital, what the current state of the asset is, how this capital will be used to solidify the asset - then at least I can evaluate the capital call and make a decision to participate or not. 

My question is, how do you guys typically evaluate real estate agent performance?

Here is my situation:- I'm a W2 employee that earns north of $500k a year- My wife is a stay-at-home-spouse- I'm looking to buy ~ $1,000,000 in STR Real Estate by the end of the year (as an investment and to offset my tax bill)I'm fairly well versed in the rules surrounding using STR to offset active income.

I agree, DSCR is the best option because it is flexible, but you can always work with someone who can evaluate your situation to find the best option FOR YOU.

This needs to be calculated in to the evaluation.

When have you ever had a interaction with a government employee and thought to yourself, "wow, that was a great experience."

To facilitate an informed decision regarding my suitability for the role, I would like to propose starting with a trial period which would allow you to evaluate my performance and see firsthand how effectively I manage properties remotely.Thank You.

The downside was he later hired employees which caused insurance and other issues running a business from a residential district. 

My pockets are not deep, and I am a W2 wage employee part time RE investor.
