I don't recommend throwing the baby out with the bath water, and definitely make sure you understand the nature of the Mentor you choose.BP is a great resource to meet some amazing people. 

This now means you’re coming to the table with much more cash (lower LTV) to meet a lender’s DSCR of 1.25…some lenders have now raised this to +1.30, which means an even lower LTV.I’m not saying a 5.75% is necessarily bad.  

Definitely looking to continue building my network and meeting new people and continue learning and growing.

Hey @Jason Brown Nice to meet you. 

Due to the popularity and scarcity of these properties in Nashville, it would be difficult to find a property meeting the STR requirements given a proposed purchase price of ~$300-350k.Additionally, your situation is a bit unique as it sounds like you may be living away from your primary residence more often than not, and as such, I also recommend you confirm with a lender whether this situation would qualify for this type of (primary residence) loan.

I met Kevin much later at a meet up through Subto and saw his phone notifications and how he has hundreds of people reaching out to him daily. 

If they aren't sending you personalized investment deals that meet your buying criteria, they are NOT a good agent!
