Lender does not look at your income, just your FICO and they want to see rental income.

Instead of a 1 to 1 ratio, the required ratio can be 1 to 1.2 or 1 to 1.25.More on DSCR loans: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

Income would be from hunting dues and timber harvesting, expense would be conservation management, taxes, and the mortgage.

Different lenders can view income in various ways depending on who you speak with.

You’d get a consistent income which might bring you more income on a year to year basis than renting a room on Airbnb here and there.

Over two years, I built up 12 doors, which now generate about $100k in net income annually.

That's why many businesses just close instead of being sold.Real estate investing provides a lot more creative angles than the stock market, but on a conceptual level, nobody would seriously attempt to replace their W2 income in a few years by investing a few thousand dollars in the stock market.

If IRA owns the property wouldn’t all rental income have to go directly into the IRA?  

If your new LLC is a disregarded entity (single-member or owned solely by you and your spouse in a community property state), it won’t trigger a taxable event, and you’ll continue reporting income on your personal return.

@David YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
