I price out so many DSCR loans. 

You can buy more than one home with a VA loan.

For example, hard money loans can help you get started, but be sure you have a solid exit strategy like a bank refinance or sale once the rehab is done.Feel free to reach out anytime you need help with financing or have any questions!

You could rehab a distressed property using a fix-and-flip loan and then refinance the loan into a long-term DSCR once the repairs are finished.

FHA loans are good, but all loans have costs associated with closing them.

.- Lower down because I can do FHA loan- With the potential rent income vs monthly mortgage price, I am probably breaking even if lucky- Pro tenantJacksonville:- Total cost of home is lower, even though I will have a higher down payment because I am buying it as an investment property- With the potential rent income vs monthly mortgage price, I might make a couple hundred a month... which can eventually be used as a down for another property?

I grew up in Riverside, and now I'm currently a Loan Officer for a Mortgage Company in San Bernardino County.

You'd have to find a private lender to give you a bridge loan.

I’m not sure how the financing would work for such a move, being that I have 50k in student loans and 216k owed on the primary residence and work as a traveling nurse on a modest income.

But, I live in Los Angeles, and it feels like an FHA loan would be my only way to own here.
