So you have some meaningful cash flow that can be saved to expand your empire.

You get to make offers on your own and potentially save on buyer's commission.I wouldn't recommend if you already have an active income that is serving you well because it would be better to invest time in that endeavor if that's the case.

We have about 30K saved and are willing to move just about anywhere in the country (spots that cashflow??).

Most of the time brokers who want to represent themselves do so because they want to save money, bottom line.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

You probably had a little tickle in your moral compass which gave you pause, which is why you reached out.My wife is an accountant, when we look for every possible tax break it doesn't feel like theft, we feel accomplished to find a place for more savings and lose zero sleep over it.

Any suggestions are appreciated.I have about $50K in saving and could potentially get to $100K in cash for my very first real estate investment.

or waiting and saving.

Please save yourself time, money, and grief.
