Like every investment asset, real estate investing is not risk-free.And many more.....Answering these above questions will allow you to ask your potential real estate agents the right questions.Remember that the quality of your questions has a direct correlation to the quality of the answers you get. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Still doing some digging, but if the neighborhood and city will allow it then will take the next step and see if the cost of these additional services would negate the value of splitting the property up or not. 

@Gerald Koonce Private lending from family members is allowed with proper documentation and compliance.

So I’m hoping the 2025 year brings change to the percent allowed (40% changing to 100%??

"Evicting" squatters who were allowed to live on premises from prior complacent owner was interesting to say the least.

Yes it explicitly allowed things like the term and rate, and I wrote that it should exclude anything additional which is unnecessary since I couldn't be there to read the closing docs themselves (which I assume can vary depending on what the branch leader/loan officer wants for the nonconforming loan).  

If you're looking to get started in real estate investing, focus on building a sustainable "assembly line" that allows you to grow year after year.

I believe the better value currently is finding a home that needs cosmetic repairs and allowing the PM to handle those and get the place rented out as someone else stated.

Here you would sell to someone that can run their business form the home or the garage/workshop if that’s allowed by local code.
