Quote from @David Hori: I've been vetting gurus to determine where an investment would return the greatest ROI. 

Hi Everyone,I am looking to get started with doing rental arbitrage with my cousin who is a Green Card holder, however, I am on a H1B Visa which restricts my ability to earn income "actively".

May affect your ability to work in the financial field, or in any managerial position of a company that’s raising venture capital8.

Can you PROVE that the landscaping increases rents of ability to rent? 

In the self storage market, they have ratios based on population to determine demand.

Fascination in one type of market has led me to another, real estate investing, and now I'm looking to leverage my ability with numbers in the REI space as well.

You'd have to do the research locally, market by market, to determine who the players are.

I would just continue to grind over the years until you have the ability to pay for the DP yourself. 

I've become a firm believer that it's not just an ability to pay but how you pay.

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!
