Hello Mark, have you explored Negative DSCR Lenders? 

In our recent acquisition of a 34 SFR rental portfolio, we are exploring different approaches to handle this efficiently.

Two of my close friends just purchased apartments in downtown Punta Cana (which are under construction) and we just built in another beach town called Samana. 

Being so close to the bases, you could make change it at some point from a long-term rental to short-term (for families coming into town) or mid-term (for military contract workers) and that would earn you more.For now, I would keep saving and invest in something else and leave this as it is.

I liked the smaller towns with nicer schools.

Hi Jazmin - While TurboTax can handle basic rental income, a CPA would add insight, especially for a first-time rental with mixed uses like yours and even explore tax strategies tailored specific to you.

As an investor and a Realtor here in town - I would love to be a resource for you.

Hi investors,Would greatly appreciate your advice on how to measure if there's enough rental demand in a town. 

If you're open to exploring other areas in OH, Columbus is worth considering.
