The deals not going to get better because of the questions you ask, but we look for three main things from an investor: 1) Liquitity/Financial Assets, 2) A good credit score, and 3, and this is a big one, Experience.

So the question is whether your house is a good rental investment long term.

If DTI will be the only issue for the rental purchase, a DSCR loan would likely be a good option.

Good luck in all you do!

Even if you buy liens online sight unseen like I do, at some point, before subtaxing or paying a lawyer to foreclose, it's probably a good idea to go see the property in person.

One of the reasons I’ve had such good luck with private money investors?

If you haven’t already, I’d scope out the municipalities around town.. from what I read in The Economist, the Phoenix metropo area continues to rank high for job growth, which usually bodes well for new builds.

They won a good portion of them that is now being used to fix/repair for all buildings & condos. 

A realtor doing high volume, you don't have to use one you can poll 3-5 agents see what they do to get you the comps and then pick that person to help you.

My main concern is the interest rates being so high now as to whether what I'm hoping to achieve is really even possible.
