Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

The clients we work with who have found success letting us help them find highest and best use of properties, then we manage them for a year, and then pull out 60-70% of their money, and do it again - rather than waiting several years for a home run hit. 

Consider reaching out to a local Rental Owners Association to connect with experienced hosts, gain valuable insights, and access resources that can help you navigate property management more effectively.

More on DSCR loans in case helpful: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan. 

Thank you for the help.

I recommend finding someone you trust that can mentor you and help you push through your mental & environmental resistance. 

I hope this helps and good luck in your journey!

Tax StrategyWhile liquidating the brokerage account may trigger capital gains taxes, strategies like staggered withdrawals or tax-loss harvesting can help minimize the impact.

These borrowers typically don't need our help brokering bank & credit union loans, unless they don't have the time / energy / desire to do it themselves (or again - are required to use a broker by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, a correspondent life company, debt fund, or specific bank / credit union). 

I know that my current cash flow is a result of the unit being my primary residence first, and that not all units will cash flow like this, but can't help the feeling that I should be expanding my rental portfolio over the years.
