@Samuel MartinTo secure a new property deal with limited capital and potential DTI challenges, consider Home Equity Line of Credit(HELOC) or Cash-Out Refinance, partner with someone with capital or credit, explore creative financing options, use a BRRRR Strategy, reduce DTI through income boosts or portfolio loans.

In addition to properties across central and north Alabama, we also have options in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

If LTR are a better option down the road, then there is nothing wrong with making a switch.

If you were looking to spend $500,000, would you want someone who can only show you options after 6 pm and one weekend day?

I look how long they have been listed.The MLS rentals would also be another option, but I believe each market seems to have its "go-to" service, i.e.

This would become a passive income source since you aren't listing the property, hosting open houses, etc.Another option would be to wholesale the deal.

Have you started looking at specific markets yet, or are you still narrowing down your options?

I wish the map options were available on the mobile app as well though. 

In regard to the remote work thing, when there are significant layoffs, I don’t think remote work option will be as ubiquitous.  

I have a traveling nurse ready to rent  it “as is” too as an option. 4bed 2bath with 2 additional rooms needing egress in the basement. $115k
