Pre-internet, being a landlord wasn't easy, but it was straightforward (this is a gross oversimplification).

When buying the house, we made the mistake of getting an inspector recommended by our realtor who seemed credible and detail-oriented but I think just wanted to get us into the house.

Best way to find cohosting gigs is to look for properties that should be performing well based on their location and quality of furnishings or amenities but cannot seem to get good reviews.

I've reached out to lenders here on Bigger Pockets- but their rates & terms seem high (DSCR or just not good terms)- I qualify for a conventional loan, but my DTI is almost maxed so why pay an extra 2-3% DSCR when I don't have too. 

It seems to be any time but I’m trying to verify 

That seems to be different with a DCSR loan?

While cashing out more equity might seem appealing, it will result in a lower cash-on-cash return due to the higher rate and LTV.

Hearing from many testimonials by talking to real Padsplit owners in person, it seems to be a true cashflow machine coming from a single family residence.

They seemed like very nice well put together people.

No specific reason, just seems like cities that are trending upward and a price point I can potentially cashflow and appreciate with.
