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

I recommend starting with more turnkey properties since they are generally easier to manage.

The networking and local market insights are invaluable.For retirement planning, focus on building steady cash flow and consider setting aside a healthy maintenance fund (I usually recommend 6 months of expenses) to protect against any surprises.If you're looking to expand your portfolio, Columbus is a great market where we still see positive cash flowing deals with lots of appreciation potential.

Hi All,Does anyone have any recommendations and experience for DSCR lenders in Lafayette, LA or southern Louisiana?

His recommendation was to not participate in subject to as an agent.

If not, are there any other solutions you’d recommend?

But I still have to recommend that clients get an inspection of course.

So many, please message me for details Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I recommend being anonymous.In some cases if you have a PM, let them advertise it as their own.If you have an llc then the lease and payments go to that.While I do introduce myself to tenants, I don't advertise I'm the owner publicly.

I had this same convo with a lender a couple days ago.70% LTV DSCR or commercial were recommended options for stabilized property.
