I get paid within a day of arrival (I now set up direct pay so I will handle my own payments going forward).  

My current monthly mortgage payment plus projected future mortgage payment (2900+2900 = 5800).

They typically have multiple origination points (meaning very high closing costs) very high rates (compared to conventional but also compared to 6 month or longer waiting period DSCR products) and almost always have VERY long pre-payment periods up to 5 years.

No, just inform them you are the new owner (they may want proof) and provide them with the address to send payments. 

That way we could start renting without needing a new down payment and all of the closing costs.

Late rent payments, etc. 

I am wondering if my first steps (past the education part) is to build a network of people who know, like, and trust me through posting content like newsletters, articles, podcasts, doing webinars, going to events (aka build my brand), or, should I first find a deal and then raise capital?

Need input / ideas / comments on following pls.I have 2 SF rentals that I'm facing foreclosure on as I fell behind w/ the mortgage payments on (due to unrelated problems).

Did they have bank statements showing utility payments for the rentals?

Keep in mind, though, that this approach comes with higher down payment requirements and interest rates, which may not be as favorable
