I'm m focused on staying disciplined and maximizing cash flow, so your suggestion on BRRRR and DSCR loans is especially valuable as I plan my long-term strategy.

I am currently under contract for home I'm planning on using as a short term rental.

My plan is to live in one of the units while renting out the others.

Hi I am from Toronto, Canada and planning to buy investment property in the USA.

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

Courtesy of the video, criteria to consider include Deal Type, Management Plan, Business Plan, Financing, Asset Class, Ownership Structure, Property Class, Location, Purchase Price, Rehab Costs, Risk Target, and ROE Targets.

I'm planning to use that money for a downpayment  to buy a multifamily where I would live in one side and rent out the other side. 

Have a solid rehab plan and execution strategy.Expect the Unexpected – Always have a contingency fund (10-15% of your budget) for those surprise repairs.Flipping can be a game-changer if done right.

I plan on starting out next year with a small plug and play solution to have minimum risk.

Yet another reason, (albeit not in the top three) why all rental property should be in an LLC with a wife or child as a partner (even .1%) so as to file the Form 1065.Number 1 is liability protection, Number 2 is privacy, Number 3 is ease of transfer for estate planning, Number 4 is possible sale of the LLC to conceal sales price (also called drop and swap), Number 5 is having a single entity for financial reporting, Number 6 is brand identity.
