Again I'm new to this and it seems like a no brainer but usually to good to be true is exactly that.

For sellers, this means that setting the right price from the start and presenting your home beautifully are more crucial than ever.Time is also a factor to consider, with the median time to contract rising to 35 days—a 59.09% increase from last year.

I know there are many great tax breaks too from my listening to the BP podcast so I presume that owning property in a company is the best way forward in the USA, much like it is in Europe, is this true and if so, what company structure is best please? 

This is actually true, and something most investors don't think about when they either purchase or use a SFH for co-living purposes.  

Frankly, that sounds a little too good to be true.

New Investors Pay AttentionThe profit fron real estate comes from doing good solid deals, not by being cheap and cutting corners. 1,000% true!

Thanks for the scenario, and that is true.

Stay loyal and treat your CPA well, because true bargains are rare.Here're a few things to keep in mind when it comes to lower-priced CPA servicesNew inexperienced CPAs (as well as contractors, lawyers, dentists and all other specialists) often undercharge because they are desperate to get their new business going and are concerned that they won't have enough clients.

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 

I think you are on the right track comparing options - however I would note that there isn't really a differentiation between "DCSR" and "ARM" - there are a lot of 5 Year ARM options for DSCR Loans so theres overlap - maybe you are referring to a true 5-year balloon bank/credit union type loan?
