I recently used a structural engineer to do a visual inspection of one of my single family rentals. 

So far a little over a year later we are a super host and premier host on Airbnb and VRBO respectively.

Solid comment but also adding that 0.90x DSCR is not a hard minimum, a good amount (probably not a majority but not super rare) have "no ratio" DSCR loan programs with no min DSCR

@Akash AgrawalYou can have single person on mortgageThe issue about deduction is who is actually paying the mortgage?

Hey everyone, I realize it's been a super long time.

@Nick Cooper you can buy with as little as 15% down on a single unit property with conventional financing.

Super cool!

At 1031 Capital Solutions, we have daily conversations with landlords contemplating selling their rental properties, many of which are single-family homes or small multi-unit residences.

Lenders unfortunately don't want to foreclose on a home with 6,7,8 homes on a property that's a true single family home.

Recommendations for you would be to keep super meticulous records of all the costs you’re putting into the property, so your tax pro can make sure you’re capturing everything 1) correctly and 2) in the most tax advantaged way.
