These days the hardest part for me is finding & keeping qualified contractors for the work that always needs to be done.

Typically with houses of this age - you'll need structural folks to dig and install piers into the soil.

Other cities, not so much!

Probably not much of a change due to Trump.

Quote from @Brandi Jefferson: Hi Jaycee,Tampa doesn't have much inventory on MF, so I'm starting my research outside my market, and learning what I would need to make that happen, since house hacking is likely not an option.

I'm needing to redo some foundation work and stucco on a garage conversion ADU in Long Beach.

You always need eyes on your properties, someone acting as a caretaker. 

I'm open to deals that need rehab but I'd rather find something that's up and running and that may only need minor fixes or rent increases.Do you have any property like what I'm looking for?

Probably not enough the IRA to own real estate given reserves needed and such.

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).
