If you are trying to acquire a modest residence worth at least $50,000 as is in a county that holds online auctions (which is the point of view I adopt in this whole post), double digit interest rates are not an option.

However, I quickly realized that the time spent was costing me more.I decided to become a CAA member for access to lease forms, and I found them—especially the online forms—to be very comprehensive and easy to complete.When selecting a lease agreement, the system provides a package of forms and allows me to add or remove specific ones.

Can't find much about them online. 

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

Use Quickbooks online. 

All the stuff is free online

@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.

You can order online, and they deliver.
