Unfortunately nothing is guaranteed, but that's going to give you the best shot at success.Keep me posted on how things go and let me know if you need help with anything.Keith

And obviously, this figure is not guaranteed.

The Clerk's office does not guarantee a clear title and is not responsible for any encumbrances on the property purchased at auction.Thanks everyone in advance!

Should the expectation with the DST's then be just capital preservation with guaranteed yield after all fees (even then, most don't deliver) ?

Yeah, lots might jump on the bandwagon, but it's not a guaranteed flood.

All DSCR loans require a personal guarantee and since you're personally guaranteeing the loan, you'll need to disclose it.Food for thoughtWelcome to BPStephanie

There is no guarantee that prices will go up or down...and you can be almost sure if the Fed lowers interest rates in the middle of this year, prices will go up.

Regarding using your past Short-Term Rental (STR) income for your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, it's not guaranteed with all lenders.

And most are not ponzi schemes.Per the SEC and FINRA, some typical signs of a Ponzi scheme are promises of outsized returns (which is necessary to have a Ponzi scheme function since it needs a constant flow of new investors to avoid collapse), promises of impossible things like guaranteed returns and/or failure to disclose the true risk of an investment (to make the claimed high returns seem more plausible), etc.

So, its not a salary and the income isn't guaranteed.
