Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:1.

15.3% Self-employment taxes is a lot.Scenario 1 - You do a cost segregation study in year 1 and create a huge loss to offset your other income, great for year 1.Horrible for years after 1 as you used up a majority of your depreciation and now your net income will be subject to 15.3%.If your depreciation is mostly used up and don't plan to have net income, your business is not profitable.Scenario 2 - No cost segregation study is done and your depreciation is calculated over 39 years(low depreciation rate, you will likely be paying some sort of net income subject to 15.3%.Maybe not in year 1 if you have a lot of furnishings installed.

If I purchase ten houses, the risk are known and all risks are mine with all return is mine as well , even the unknown risk can be calculated; with syndication it's hope and pray.

Research emerging neighborhoods, find properties using MLS, Zillow, and Redfin, explore financing options, form partnerships, analyze deals using BRRRR calculators, and manage the rehab process.

But ultimately I’m not opposed to taking a calculated risk as long as I have a complete picture of the situation. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

My realtor/PM says $0.95 to $1.05 per sq. ft. is a reasonable monthly rent for a 4 BR/2 BA property in that area, which (according to the BiggerPockets calculator estimate I did) is enough to cover the monthly payment plus the above costs I mentioned.I anticipate putting down my deposit and earnest money in the next few days. 

It's neither quick nor easy, but it is life-changing and thus worth it.Flipping and wholesaling is NOT investing, it's a job and it is transactional and the profits (if any) are highly taxable income.

Would like to understand 1031 exchange rule to understand what is considered as boot that would be taxable.
