There are two primary reasons for this: 1) The number of gig workers in this country has increased from ~40M in 2016 to +58M in 2023. 2) The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is estimated at 11.5M (varies considerably by source). 

This only works on flips and BRRRRs, otherwise you won't be able to pay off that much debt unless you have other sources of income coming in.This is what I did on my last deal in TX. 

@Joe Hammel would you mind me asking how you are sourcing your deals?

I use his calculators constantly, and his advice has helped me get a deeper understanding of sourcing contractors, building out systems, analyzing deals, development, etc.

@Lloyd PreeceRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

David, regardless of your source of funds, you will never be seen as a "private lender" you're a broker and always will be, your source of funds is not a matter to classify a loan.
