It assumes the property is Class A - which not a lot of investors are acquiring these days.Here's some copy & paste info about property classes:_____________________________________________________________________________Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I always advise to run a business for 3-6 months without an entity to see if it something you are making money in and something you want to continue doing.Once you have 3-6 months of activity, you have more information to provide to an accountant regarding income so he can provide suggestions on entity type.Best of luck

But in my experience, you would be better off spending that same amount of time/hustle working a second part-time job with guaranteed income, then investing in buy-and-hold properties.

It sounds like your current bank might be hesitant to provide a loan for the next property until you can prove that the current property provides enough income to support your overall DTI (Debt to Income Ratio).

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

I got a PA for 300k/FHA loan. 720+ credit score, 75k cash, and good income.
