@Jimmy Rojas Yes, you can file your own 1099s using tax software or online services, but simply filing a 1099 doesn’t automatically prove income for a mortgage.

Based on some online searching, it appears that the rate gap between conventional investment property loan and DSCR is pretty narrow at the moment.

I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.

So, my plan was to rent out each room and use an online property management platform.

You can order online, and they deliver. 

Even after trying to pick the better ones.Now I know I can search online, I can use a realtor, I can send out a mail campaign, I can cold call, I can go to auctions.Are there any other strategies you would recommend to find deals?

Section 179 allows immediate expensing of assets, but the deduction is limited to your taxable business income.If your net business income (before the deduction) is only $16,962, then that’s the max you can claim in the current year—the rest carries forward to future years.The $18,308 total includes both this year’s deduction and carryover depreciation from last year’s furniture.Why This Matters for You:Your lender wants to see $19K on Line 13 as an add-back for cash flow purposes.Your CPA can’t legally put the full $19K if your business income limits the deduction.However, reclassifying some expenses (like moving office expenses into capital assets) could increase your taxable business income, allowing more Section 179 deduction this year.Discuss with your CPA about reclassifying expenses (e.g., reducing "office expenses") to allow more Section 179 depreciation.
