I work in analytics consulting and have managed my finances and investments well by myself. 401k, investment accounts, high yield savings account, own a house in a nice neighborhood with a traditional 30-yr mortgage, etc. 

For example, we mostly do student rentals in Eugene, OR and the banks lend on the appraised value but take the total rent (which is by the room) to account for DSCR.If you're asking about a DSCR lender who lends on income and doesn't look at appraised value, I can't help you there unfortunately. 

Study the market.

You can do a balance transfer right into your bank account, they normally charge you a 2% -3% upfront fee and give you 9 - 12 months 0%.

Do you hire an accountant to file your taxes?

I just use occupied nights/365 and account for vacancy to include any reason it is not pulling in revenue.

I've never felt the need to study guru stuff, not passing judgment on the commercial side, but the CCIM would probably do it for anyone, get with someone who has taken it, I bet you could borrow materials.

My husband and I have begun studying the auction process in Alabama.
