(If not, then you should, IMHO)We're all in sales ultimately, and keeping potential business associates on a marketing list is our lifeline.Also, if you were "politely told" that it's not a great fit - how is this a problem? 

Ok, then know when in over your head and tap-out! 

Ok, I actually haven't found any deals yet as I'm still reading a few books and trying to wrap my head around real estate investing.

I think the moral to the story is always do your own research & utilize places like your local real estate investor associations where there’s a wealth of knowledge for free, without the costs associated with a program like this. 

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

I have rental property not associated with the SDIRA and for me it's much easier to manage. 

This is something I have been struggling wrapping my head around.

This is something that now NAR (National Association of realtors) requires as of August 17th 2024.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

@Anthony MillerYour property management experience is a major advantage as you start investing, giving you a head start with tenant screening, lease agreements, and maintenance coordination.
