I do direct booking through the Houfy website, taking credit card payment by Square. 

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

@Jonathan SniderFannie and Freddie do have LLPA's and the lower the down payment, the higher the cost.

In this type of situation, they want low interest rate with low down payment also.

Maybe a better question would have been if you know how much money you have for a down payment on a property? 

We are hoping to streamline tenant communications, maintenance requests, and payment records. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

I really don't have the $23k down payment I'd need for a DSCR, and Texas wont let me HELOC the equity out of my other rentals. 

Since then, I’ve had a nightmare of items pop up Mortgage payment: 1,495 to 1,950 (home was valued at 100,000 on the county auditor to then moved to 210,000, the price I bought it)Loan: I have a 320 dollar loan payment that finishes up by next year for a tub and shower replacementWater: When I first bought the property, the bill was 250-300.

And people think Ai is going to replace accountants.one can argue that apartments.com is just a processing the payment and not actually holding the funds to transfer out.If apartments.com all of a sudden reverses the payment for insufficient funds?
