Hey all, I currently have a new home being built that I would like to keep in my personal portfolio.

It is DSCR based and no personal tax returns are required to qualify.

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

I would never own rental properties in my personal name.

I am still personally buying rentals but I am not expecting much in the way of cash flow at the moment.

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.

HELOCs are fine, but keep in mind that you really only want to use 50 percent of less (each) of your available equity just so you aren't creating a problem that you can't solve later if the value of your personal residences fluctuates.If you both have W2 jobs though, have you looked into getting qualified together and just getting a loan, 10 percent down each?

He’s got a solid reputation and is an active member of the local REIA.

I am familiar with Firestone park, Goodyear Heights, Fairlawn as pretty solid areas.

If you have not done so already I'd highly recommend having a study done on the space in relation to surrounding population with the dentist in mind as a way of showing a solid customer base.
