2) I do believe you'll have to go the LLC ownership route with DSCR. 

As @Givo Aghasi mentioned, 75% (or up to 90% CLTV) is out there, and I'd agree.

I'm going to be taking some time to get to know people in my market as I kind of want to start local in Las Vegas.

Before you pay for inspections, estoppel, etc. go look at the property yourself.

If you haven't already, try going off market, driving around neighborhoods that would be of interest to you and finding ones that fall into your criteria (your agent should be able to help you as well).

When I first started investing in real estate, I discovered how important it was to identify and capitalize on the right opportunities.

We plan to pooling our money for down payment & closing costs.

@George Blower yes, If any funds go to pay the seller note it will be a contribution first to the Solo K, then paid out to the seller.

Both the realtor we used for the first cabin AND the loan officer encouraged us to ditch the two bedrooms and “go bigger since we had access to so much 1031 cash.”We ended up doing it all without a realtor.

Next door to family.
