Knowing my goal of house hacking and Airbnb, she encouraged me to connect with an investor-friendly agent I found on BiggerPockets.

so - if that aligns with your goals and expectations, great!  

They usually focus on LTRs, but when I informed them that I would like to explore STRs, they made a few introductions to people that specifically work with STRs to help me reach my goals.

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 think it comes down to what your goal is.

My goal is to become a developer.

But not sure if I'm overlooking anything else that would cause increased scrutiny.Also, to clarify, my overall goal with the property is simply long-term wealth building through mortgage pay down and appreciation so I'm not targeting properties with very high cash flow thus the focus on tax writeoffs.

Looking forward to working with you toward meeting your our business goals.

Good morning @Teema Marshall,Someone who is up early on a Sunday to build their network must be serious about their goals!

It really depends on what your goal is.
