I am an aspiring new real estate investor based in CT looking to use the power of real estate as a wealth building tool and income producing asset class.

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

Since then, my cabins have tripled in value - worth easily $800K or more, and have produced $696,XXX in rents.  

Our agents want to work with us because they see the value of being part of a high-producing renovation company.

As others noted, there is no limit to DSCR funding other than your ability to produce enough liquidity for down payments, closing costs, and the required reserves post-closing.

Once that extra rental started generating income, he realized the higher interest rate was just a temporary hiccup on the way to bigger returns.In your case, maybe look at a structure that keeps your best cash-flow property on a lighter refi (say 50% or 60% LTV) while you go a bit heavier on the one that’s not producing as much right now.

Your primary home doesn't produce cash flow and is a pure expense.

The property had a first mortgage, as well as a second mortgage, both from the same purchase money lender.After receiving the trustee’s deed and recording it, I discovered two “Independent Solar Energy Producer Contracts” recorded against the home.

It's more important to own investment income producing property that generates at least 10% annual ROI than it is to own where you live.

Anything and everything that you can do to show others (and prove to them) that you have a talent for selecting properties and producing actual results.If you do that, people will take notice.
