Conventional can be a good starting point for your first properties because of the lower rates, but for entities and if you are planning to scale, DSCRs are great option since they focus on the property’s rental income rather than your personal income.

Anything involving a service animal and ADA should be directly consulting an attorney on the matter as every case is different. 

However, if you learn the different options available and then figure out what they really want, you can often negotiate a killer deal.

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

If this is not something you're interested in delving into and learning to a high degree, then investing in publicly traded REITs would be another good option for you, which have historically returned about 13.5 per cent Per year over the past 50 years (1977-present), beating the US stock market by two per cent and even beating private real estate investing by 4 per cent (that's compared with the average real estate investor, not the experts here at Bigger Pockets).

I’m new to all of this and looking at 401k loans and HELOC as options.

That's how I would propose it as an option next time.

I was just hoping to transition it into LTR and since we have newer furniture that fits the space well, it just seemed a shame to sell it all to do an unfurnished LTR, but again, I'm having a hard time understanding how logistically some of the details are worked out with that with furniture involved in an LTR.Thank you again for the support!

I personally have no connections with anyone who is involved in this niche and I'm wondering how other people have started their journey.

Or cash for keys is another option…
