I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..

Setting them up to do well.

@Kerry Hermann We got our start in the western Chicago suburbs as well but are now totally focussed on The Shoals.

I respectfully disagree with @Joshua Dorkin  as well.

My thoughts as well.

They are bought/sold at the same time as well. 

So to clarify, you CANNOT live in a DSCR property as DSCR is business purpose only and that is not allowed.  5-10 units can also qualify for 30 year fixed DSCR loans as well. 

This is a unique home and it actually has a full kitchen, 2 bed and 1 bath downstairs and I think it might be well suited as a very large vacation rental(entire home) or both floors being rented separately at some point in time.
