While raising money is an important skill, what makes or breaks the investment will be operations. 

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

No lending institution or bank would be permitted to operate with those ratios.

I'm sure there are other similar services out there. 2) DSCR loans would probably be your best bet.

Kieran, the best bet here is to refinance with a DSCR loan.

I'll bet you a cup of coffee no one has working keys.

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

I only operate 1 house I bought this year, but I'm eager to stand out in the competition.

Hi Eric,Great question—estimating operating expenses can definitely be tricky, especially for items like maintenance, CapEx, and make-ready costs that vary widely between properties.
