If you have access to someone who is ready to trust you with their asset, do right by the owner and go for it!

It would pi$$ me off to no end if a 19 year old came to talk to me with a binder telling me how good of a deal I am getting by seeing a 36% rent increase.

Although that would be looked down upon by a lender as well because of the inherent risk of lending to someone who has too much on their plate. 

Just curious if any particular type of structure has the best ROI or is the most desirable by renters looking to get away from it all and relax in nature? 

Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you’re looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing.

I usually start by analyzing data like population growth, job opportunities, and rental demand.

Lenders may count eligible assets as additional qualifying income by dividing eligible assets by 60.🔹 Example in Action:Rental income: $9,000PITI: $9,500 → DSCR <1 (not qualifying)Using $63,000 in assets → Adds $1,045 in incomeNew DSCR >1 → Higher LTV (80% instead of 75%)🔹 Why This Matters:✅ Helps investors qualify for better financing✅ Increases borrowing power and flexibility✅ Allows you to scale your portfolio fasterUnderstanding financing tools like this can be a game-changer for investors looking to maximize opportunities.
