@Bryant Clark I'm a neophyte on cyrpto so I'm not qualified to answer your question.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Apart from that, talk to a lender to see what you would qualify for so you can be prepared for the purchase when the time is right. 

But I once did one to save a couple thousand bucks, and it cost nearly that much just to hire the Qualified Intermediary.Also, I found myself wanting to move into the property I exchanged, which is a no-no without allowing a couple of years to pass under a safe harbor.

Simply owning some investment real estate does not make one a real estate professional anymore than owning some stock's makes one a Stock Trader....To qualify for real estate professional status (REPS), you must meet the following requirements:50% test: More than half of your personal services must be in real property trades or businesses.750-hour test: You must perform at least 750 hours of services in real property trades or businesses.

There are also self-employed bank statement financing that uses 12-24 months of bank statement to qualify you for conventional financing starting at 5% down.

Lenders that offer DSCR loans generally don't have a cap if the mortgage payments are paid on time and the borrower has the credit score, down payment (or equity if a cash out refinance) to qualify.

Would I qualify for a mortgage this size?

I haven't, but just make sure the mentor has personal experience/success AND you have access to either him or a qualified coach for as many questions as you want to ask, versus just buying a course like some people offer. 

If they qualify comes down to if the home is zoned for such use and is permitted by the city/county for such use.
