Have you triple-checked that you can pull those rents?

make sure triple check projections and deals

The lenders both came back and said that in order to buy any type of property, I would need to basically double or triple my income to qualify.

In 2020 the city reassessed the property at triple the amount and the seller did not inform his agent so when the final paperwork was done it was completed based on the new amount thus essentially tripping the escrow amounts for taxes the day before closing. 

I can use those funds in many stocks that pay dividends and get triple my rental proceeds.

Your premiums will be lower now, you will get the tax benefit (triple tax benefit, actually) for funding it ($3,550 for individual/$7,100 for family contribution limits for 2020), and many employers will help contribute to it.

If you had rapid appreciation, maybe you tripled or quadrupled it.

I tried but had a triple simultaneous closing all on the same day.

Why should I not just go full tilt and double and triple down on this market?

If that's the case I would triple check the ARV.
