We're based in Tampa and, in addition to personally investing, I own a mortgage company that provides financing for tons of investors.

Quote from @John Friendas: As a person with an average salary, I was wondering what the maximum amount of DSCR loans a lender would give out would look like?

Lots of loan options can close in an LLC, helocs usually need to close in your personal name.

@Pranita Maldikar Unless the seller is a family member or personal friend, I'm not sure why you'd want to put that much money down on the property.

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You’re still going to be personally sued when something goes wrong. 

The interest rate on a HELOC or Heloan may be better than the personal loan. 

I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

But now with the joy and headaches of non-metered units, trying to wrangle 3 different set's of persons into playing nice, etc etc..
