I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

@Isaac Terry Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Probably we should have considered this( closing timeframe). at the time of purchase and looked at properties that would complete before the school season starts. 

This would allow you to sell a property you had purchased with the intent of holding for productive investment use. 

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side.

Help him purchase another home Subject to that existing mortgage.

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

Three out of my first five purchases were from the MLS.
