As I'm getting started I thought it might be worth working with a RE coach to help map out goals and strategies.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

One thing that really helps is lining up flexible, short-term financing—like hard money loans or private lenders—who get your goals and can close quickly.

For long-term strategies, a cash-out refinance is usually more advantageous, as it preserves ownership and offers fixed terms.To proceed, start with a professional appraisal to confirm the home’s value, compare refinance terms with traditional lenders, and carefully scrutinize shared-equity program terms to ensure they align with your financial goals.

so - i don't understand how a deal like this is going to help you advance your goals.

From my experience, success in real estate investing starts with clearly defining your goals and continuously educating yourself through podcasts, books, forums, and courses.

Different investors have different tastes, risk appetites, and long-term goals.
