DM us if you'd like some 1-on-1 assistance.Hi, Drew, actually I asked about the Sentinel Fund, for a friend and came on BP to ask professional if its legit or not, and now I put this post to go "fishing" for the right team to build, I do thank you for your concern for not being taken advantage of, but thats what this platform is for, to find, hopefully, a real estate agent, property manager etc. when I say fishing- someone that will take the TIME to ASK the right questions and actually has the experience to prove what they can do, have done and will do for you!

I have a friend who is very happy with Anderson so I'll be contacting them as well, although apparently they are more expensive.

Like Brandon mentioned - you sound like the picture perfect classic "DSCR Loan" borrower - dscr loans are made for exactly this typically - LLC friendly and usually the best fit for when investors hit the 5 or so property mark and hit a roadblock with banks, cash etc like you desribed.Check out this 12-part article series published here on BP on all about DSCR Loans, hope it helps!

Low property taxes, landlord friendly and with tech and manufacturing jobs moving from the Bay Area there is strong job growth.

And this my friends is what lists DO NOT WORK!

If family lives in the main home and friends stay for free in the garage, the property remains a primary residence, but there’s no rental income or tax benefits.

@David Hudgik - I am an investor friendly agent in the area.

Diversify into cash-flow-friendly markets like Indianapolis, Birmingham, and Florida.

If you want to remain friendly with the neighbor, I'd suggest checking out his unit and then running water all over the shower walls and putting some water on the floor around the shower/tub "pan" and around the toilet.

I always suggest starting with friends and family and even ask them if they know anyone who might be interested.
