I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

I would check the rules in all of your jurisdictions.

Insurance companies want to fix it the cheapest way possible, and their goal is to minimize out-of-pocket expenses like this one.  

Deal with one of the large accounting/tax companies that have an international network.2.

While the debt would whip out most of the profit for 'x' amt of time, it would seem to be logical to take on the risk at a net zero income for x amt of years if after that point, the cashflow is all positive.

Quote from @Jane Trust Ryan: Hi All!   

@Jaycee Greene after the year living there at first property can you get a second fha loan but have to live for a year too on the next one?

If so, I'd consider those options first as they fit in the infinite banking concept.

Is a strategy a practical one, especially me starting out as a beginner?

one of my clients that has a pretty big PM company.. had a unique way of doing this.He offered 50% of the first months rent or 500.00 minimum.. he would have 4 or 5 agents at the weekly meeting handout the list of vacants .. each of them would go place a sign in the yard and first come first served.. he found that potential tenants would call the first sign if no answer they called the next one until finally someone answered.. it worked pretty awesome for him.
