From my experience working with over 400 investors, I’d recommend starting with house hacking—ideally a fourplex if you find a good deal, but a duplex works too.

Most times when evaluating a DSCR mortgage, market rent will come into play.

Posted this on the Multifamily section, but realized after I should post it here.I am a current Senior at the  Catholic University of America playing Baseball and finishing up my accounting degree.

Loans like this can be useful or very dangerous, depending on how you manage your business.The ideal situation for a loan like this is when you have a property that will take a while to get up and running. 

It’s always interesting to see how people’s backgrounds play into their investing strategies.What kind of multifamily properties are you eyeing right now?

We play matchmaker, put our clients first in all arenas, and also manage.

I know enough about a lot of things to be dangerous, but lack detailed expertise and certifications.I will say that I was extremely disappointed with my last realtors lack of construction knowledge so you will have a leg up there for sure, and you should play up that as a selling point

There’s demand for rentals in the area, and multi-family properties tend to hold value even in market shifts.New Construction: With SWFL growing fast, new construction is a big play, especially if you can tap into neighborhoods where demand is rising but inventory is still limited.

Price fair, don't get greedy, play the long game.

Generally speaking, Boston proper is an appreciation market (low cap rates) unless you have a solid value-add play.
