I figure the upside to the rental scenario is, of course, investing in multiple properties, while a downside would be having to most likely get a conventional loan on the second house with 20+% down and proof of sufficient enough financial reserves to handle two mortgages. 

My goal is to build a sustainable rental portfolio that provides great housing for tenants and solid financial returns.I’m looking for advice, insights, and connections from experienced investors or local professionals.

One of the key benefits of a DSCR loan is that it allows you to qualify based on the rental income the property is expected to generate, making it ideal for those with multiple properties or who may not have a strong personal financial profile or W2.

This joint effort enabled us to maximize the property’s potential without financial strain, proving the strength of our partnership-driven approach to real estate investing.

Maybe get your debt paid down, get your first deal, get some savings built up, then reconsider the potential change. 

@Celine Li 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?

If they are billed separately, the charges may fall into Fair Debt Collection Practices Act laws.

I'm not sure what i'd do afterwards, but by then i'd have a lot more financial freedom. 

my SS deal is one of my participation deals were I provide the capital to the operator via a debt instrument then take a participation as part of the note agreement.
