@Edgar Duarte Depends on if you prefer owning real estate or want to be invested in the stock market.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

Yes, depends on if he already has a loan and the rate on that. 

Depending on the situation, a taxpayer could offset some of the passive losses with active income.

It depends on the rental income, what you plan on putting down (20-25% is typical, 15% or 25% is required for conventional depending on # of units) For your owner occupied deal, you should be able to use a portion of the rental income to qualify and help offset your DTI a bit. 

Hi Mary, It will depend on what kind of lender is doing the DSCR loan.

AND the side you live on you can rent out a room or two depending on the number of rooms in your duplex or you have the option to maintain your privacy and sanity and keep it to yourself.  

(Usually you cannot use prior employer history until you have been at your new job for 6 to 12 months, depending on the underwriter to show that you are maintaining the same level of bonus/overtime/commission income that you had at your prior employer).

Depending on the ARV some are even able to get out all the funds they used to quickly rinse and repeat

So many times the address is wrong and at the sale the person running it will state....the address is a courtesy, we're selling the legal description, don't depend on the address.
