The right investment strategy depends on your risk tolerance and available time, especially when partnering with family.

Maybe it can help you in your specific situation, it depends.

Why are people going for $10M or more, which is at the point you'll have trouble spending it all. 2m isn't enough to retire on, depending on how old you are.

Also, any underwriter is going to heavily scrutinize a new primary residence loan application if they see that you recently (under 1 year) bought a primary residence in the same general area and have already converted it to a rental. 

Thanks Real answer "it depends".

Both are strategies, it just depends on what you’re looking for now versus what you’re looking for later.

Right now I use an VA from the Philippines to respond to all my leasing questions (from Facebook, email, text, and phone) and help with application screening and it's been working great for over 5 years!

Most lenders will use the middle of your three credit scores and if there's more than one applicant, the lender will go with the lower of the two credit scores.

then again depending on state judge has to confirm the sale and your deed gets recorded by the court. 

I get mine from my banks at 7 to 9 depending on where prime is.
