I had a very irresponsible business partner who lost his portion of the building proceeds on day trading.

Keep in mind that every real estate investment experience is different and that there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.

Multifamily property size, location, condition, and financing terms can all affect the amount of money needed to purchase a home in a B-rated region.

Go after your "why" and what will work for your family, remember this is not a one size fits all journey, everyone's looks different.

I think there has just always been a portion of the population throughout history that has a fascination with this stuff.

It's not an earth shattering idea, but it increases your income and protects you from yourself (wanting to scale too quickly, making compromises, and introduces extra risk).I'd suggest taking a breath and getting a sample size of more than 1 month of bookings before buying the next one, but I get it. 

I think a short-term fix-and-flip loan would serve you better because, first, the credit requirements are typically lower than a DSCR loan's credit requirements, and fix-and-flip loans will fund a portion of the purchase price as well as some or all of the rehab costs (usually through the draw process).Right now, saving your cash, rebuilding your credit, and finding both a partner (ideally with a higher credit score AND experience) and lender you're comfortable with should be your priorities.
